Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The awards submitted were student-level prizes, not awards that top experts in the field would aspire to win. Furthermore, the petitioner's membership in a professional society was not sufficiently exclusive, and the published materials about her work were not from major media or were deemed promotional rather than independent journalistic coverage.
