Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required three evidentiary criteria. The AAO reviewed the petitioner's claim of meeting the 'prizes or awards' criterion and found the evidence inconsistent, with conflicting names for the grants and potentially altered documents. The petitioner also failed to demonstrate that the grants were nationally recognized awards for excellence in her field rather than simply funding for study or research.
