Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim through her awards. The AAO concluded that awards won in student-only categories or competitions designed for 'up-and-coming' talent do not demonstrate that the petitioner has risen to the very top of her field, as required by the statute.
Criteria Discussed
Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards
