Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because, despite the Director finding the petitioner met three initial evidentiary criteria (awards, published material, and judging), the AAO concluded in its final merits determination that the evidence did not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO found that a single recent award and minimal media coverage over many years were insufficient to prove the petitioner had risen to the very top of her field.
