Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that she met the minimum of three required evidentiary criteria. The AAO determined that the petitioner's awards, such as a 'Gold Medal' in a junior division and a 'Prestige Diploma' given to all competitors, were not proven to be nationally or internationally recognized for excellence. Additionally, the evidence for her membership in an association did not show that it required outstanding achievements for entry.
