Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that she meets at least three of the required evidentiary criteria for an alien of extraordinary ability. The director found the awards submitted were mostly local or lacked evidence of national significance, the memberships did not have sufficiently high requirements, and the evidence of authorship was not properly certified or shown to be in major media. Additionally, the petitioner's acclaim was not shown to be sustained, as most achievements dated back to the 1990s.
