Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition because, while the Petitioner met the minimum number of evidentiary criteria, the record in totality did not establish that she possesses sustained national or international acclaim and is one of the very few at the top of her field. Upon de novo review, the AAO agreed with this final merits determination and concluded the Petitioner did not qualify as an individual of extraordinary ability, thus dismissing the appeal.
