Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish the sustained national or international acclaim required.

Furthermore, she did not demonstrate that her professional memberships required outstanding achievements, and her letters of recommendation were insufficient to prove her contributions were of major significance to the field at large.
