Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because even though the AAO found that the petitioner met several evidentiary criteria (including awards and memberships from her time as an athlete, which the Director had discounted), the totality of the evidence did not establish that she had sustained national or international acclaim or was among the small percentage at the very top of her field as a gymnastics coach.
