Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner's achievements were primarily as a competitive dancer, which the AAO determined is a different area of expertise from her proposed work as a dance instructor and choreographer. The petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim specifically as an instructor. Consequently, she did not provide sufficient evidence to satisfy the required number of criteria for her stated field.
