Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish she had earned sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO determined that the petitioner's selection for developmental screenwriting workshops did not constitute nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards for excellence, as they were intended for novice writers, not established professionals at the top of their field. The petitioner's screenplay was never produced, further indicating she had not risen to the very top of her field.
