Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The petitioner's claim to awards won by a production she joined after the fact was rejected, as she was not the named recipient. Furthermore, she did not provide evidence that her membership in professional associations required outstanding achievements as judged by experts, a key part of that criterion.
