Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required. The evidence for the APEX award did not prove its national or international recognition. The petitioner also did not demonstrate that her memberships in professional associations required outstanding achievements as a prerequisite for joining. Finally, her claims of original contributions of major significance, such as publishing a community newspaper, were not supported by corroborating evidence.
