Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria. The AAO determined that awards won by her students were not her own, her membership in an association did not require outstanding achievements for entry, and published materials were not primarily about her but rather about her students or the general popularity of her field.
