Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because although the AAO agreed the beneficiary met three initial evidentiary criteria (judging, scholarly articles, and a leading/critical role), it found that the totality of the evidence did not meet the final merits determination. The record did not demonstrate that the beneficiary's achievements reflected a career of acclaimed work sufficient to show she had risen to the very top of her field.
