Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO found that the financial awards from her employer were not nationally recognized prizes, she failed to prove her role as a physician was leading or critical for the hospital, and she did not provide comparative evidence to establish that her salary was significantly high for her field in her country.
