Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that she met the minimum of three required evidentiary criteria for the classification. The AAO concluded the evidence did not prove her awards were nationally or internationally recognized for excellence, nor that her memberships required outstanding achievements as judged by experts. The AAO also disagreed with the Director's initial finding that the petitioner met the 'published material' criterion.
