Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility by not meeting at least three of the ten regulatory criteria with sufficient evidence. The AAO concluded that the petitioner did not demonstrate the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification, nor did she prove she is one of the small percentage who have risen to the very top of her field.
