Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because even though the petitioner met the minimum of three evidentiary criteria, the AAO's final merits determination concluded the evidence did not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The petitioner's awards were from youth-level competitions rather than recognizing those at the top of the field, and her roles were not sufficient to prove she had risen to the very top.
