Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because, despite meeting four initial evidentiary criteria, the petitioner did not demonstrate through the totality of the evidence that she has sustained national or international acclaim and is among the small percentage at the very top of her field. While the petitioner has an extensive history of success, including numerous medals and Olympic participation, the AAO concluded that the evidence, when weighed in its entirety, was insufficient to meet the high standard required for the extraordinary ability classification.
