Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed the final merits determination. Although the petitioner satisfied the minimum requirement of meeting at least three evidentiary criteria, the AAO concluded that the totality of the evidence did not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim, nor did it show she had risen to the very top of her field as required for this classification.
