Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The AAO found that while the petitioner submitted evidence for several awards, she did not provide sufficient supporting documentation to establish their significance, the criteria for selection, or their recognition beyond the local level. The petitioner's uncorroborated statements about the prestige of the awards were deemed insufficient to meet the burden of proof.
