Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish sustained national or international acclaim. Specifically, the evidence for the 'prizes or awards' criterion, a CES Innovations honor, was awarded to the petitioner's company, not to her individually. The petitioner also failed to prove that her contribution was the primary basis for the award or that the honor is considered a nationally recognized prize for excellence in her field.
