Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because although the petitioner met three of the ten evidentiary criteria, a final merits determination found the evidence did not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The awards presented were not received directly by the petitioner or were from festivals that were not shown to be of the highest distinction, failing to prove she was among the small percentage at the top of her field.
