Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because, despite meeting the minimum number of evidentiary criteria, the petitioner did not establish sustained national or international acclaim in the final merits determination. The AAO found that the evidence, such as first authorship on publications, did not prove she had risen to the small percentage at the very top of her field, particularly when her achievements were compared to the more distinguished careers of her recommenders.

Criteria Discussed

Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Membership In Associations That Require Outstanding Achievements Published Material About The Individual Participation As A Judge Of The Work Of Others Original Contributions Of Major Significance Authorship Of Scholarly Articles Leading Or Critical Role For Distinguished Organizations High Remuneration For Services
