Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for this classification. The director found that the evidence of various awards from amateur dance competitions did not prove they were nationally or internationally recognized or that the petitioner had risen to the very top of her field, as success at the amateur level is not sufficient.
Criteria Discussed
Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards
