Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the director determined the petitioner did not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The petitioner failed to meet the 'awards' criterion, as the doctoral travel award was considered related to academic study, not a prize for excellence in the professional field. The petitioner also failed the 'published material about the alien' criterion, as the evidence submitted consisted of citations to her work, not articles about her and her work as required by the regulation.
