Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because, despite meeting the minimum number of evidentiary criteria, the AAO determined in its final merits review that the petitioner's achievements did not rise to the level of sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence, particularly regarding the prestige of her awards, was insufficient to demonstrate that she is among the small percentage at the very top of her field.
Criteria Discussed
Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Published Material About The Alien In Professional Or Major Media Participation As A Judge Of The Work Of Others Display At Artistic Exhibitions Or Showcases Leading Or Critical Role For Distinguished Organizations Or Establishments High Remuneration For Services
