Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim as required for the final merits determination. Although the director found that the petitioner met at least six of the initial evidentiary criteria, the evidence of her achievements, awards, and recognition was largely from 2014 or earlier. The AAO found a significant gap of over eight years in her career, which undermined the claim of sustained acclaim.
