Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that she met the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria. The AAO concurred with the Director that the petitioner met the 'judging' and 'scholarly articles' criteria, but found the evidence insufficient for the 'awards' and 'original contributions' criteria. The petitioner's award was not shown to have national or international recognition beyond the conference, and her contributions were not established as being of major significance to the field.
