Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because even though the petitioner met the minimum threshold of three criteria, a final merits determination found she had not demonstrated sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO concluded that most of her documentation related to her political activism rather than her achievements as a journalist, and the qualifying evidence was not recent enough to prove she is among the small percentage at the very top of her field.
