Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the required number of evidentiary criteria. The AAO determined that the petitioner's prize was from a youth competition and lacked evidence of national or international significance for excellence in the field. Furthermore, the petitioner did not identify her own original contributions of major significance, instead attributing them to the orchestra she is a part of.
