Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence submitted for prizes and awards lacked proof of their national or international recognition and were not recent enough to show sustained acclaim. The petitioner also failed to prove that her membership in an association required outstanding achievements, and her evidence for judging was insufficient to demonstrate her role or the prestige of the competition.
