Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility for the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria. The AAO determined the petitioner met only one criterion (published material about the alien). The evidence was found insufficient to establish that her modeling competition prize was a nationally recognized award or that she played a leading or critical role for organizations with a distinguished reputation.
