Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The AAO found that the petitioner's submitted awards were merely certificates of appreciation, a scholarship, or government grants, not nationally or internationally recognized prizes for excellence. Furthermore, the petitioner's plans to continue working in her field in the U.S. were deemed too vague.
