Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that she met at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO reviewed the director's finding on the 'awards' criterion and withdrew it, concluding the petitioner's awards were not shown to be nationally or internationally recognized for excellence. It also found that her memberships in professional associations did not require 'outstanding achievements' as judged by experts.
