Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility under the criteria for an alien of extraordinary ability. The director found that the submitted evidence, such as academic scholarships, university grants, and youth competition awards, were related to training rather than professional excellence and did not represent nationally or internationally recognized awards in the field as a whole. These honors did not establish that the petitioner had risen to the very top of her field of endeavor.
