Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the required number of evidentiary criteria. The AAO determined that a government scholarship did not qualify as a nationally or internationally recognized award for excellence. Furthermore, while the petitioner was invited to judge the work of others, the evidence did not sufficiently demonstrate that she actually participated in these activities, and some supporting documents lacked the required certified English translations.
