Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility by meeting at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The AAO found that the evidence submitted for the 'prizes or awards' criterion, including funding grants, a nomination, and local certificates, did not qualify as nationally or internationally recognized prizes for excellence. As the petitioner did not meet the minimum evidentiary threshold, she did not demonstrate the sustained acclaim required for the classification.
