Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under the claimed evidentiary criteria. The AAO found that the petitioner's evidence of musical performances did not meet the plain language of the 'prizes or awards' criterion, as she did not document the actual receipt of any awards. The petitioner failed to submit qualifying evidence under at least three of the ten regulatory criteria to demonstrate sustained acclaim.
