Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed, and a subsequent motion to reconsider was denied. The AAO found the petitioner, an Irish dance teacher, only met two of the required three criteria. The petitioner failed to establish eligibility for awards (as her students' awards were not attributable to her), membership in associations requiring outstanding achievement, or that published material was about her personally.
