Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate her extraordinary ability through either a major, internationally-recognized award or by meeting at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. The AAO found the evidence submitted for the 'prizes or awards' criterion was insufficient, noting that an award certificate lacked a proper certified translation and the petitioner failed to establish the award was nationally or internationally recognized.
