Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. While the AAO found the petitioner met the criterion for lesser nationally recognized awards, she failed to meet the criteria for membership in exclusive associations and for published materials about her work. The memberships did not require outstanding achievement, and the submitted publications were not primarily about the petitioner but rather projects she worked on.
