Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the requisite number of criteria for an alien of extraordinary ability. Although the petitioner minimally satisfied the criterion for lesser awards, the evidence did not establish that her memberships were in associations requiring outstanding achievement of their members. Furthermore, the submitted published materials were not primarily about the petitioner herself, but rather were publications in which she was credited as a contributor.
