Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that she intends to continue working in her area of expertise, as her current work in film restoration was not proven to be the same field as her acclaimed work in rheology and civil engineering. The AAO also concurred with the director that the petitioner had not established the necessary sustained national or international acclaim in either field.
