Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because, although the petitioner met at least three initial evidentiary criteria, the totality of the evidence did not establish sustained national or international acclaim. The record showed gaps in her career, lacked evidence of recent high-profile activity, and failed to prove she had maintained a high level of success up to the time of filing. Therefore, the AAO concluded she did not demonstrate that she was among the small percentage at the very top of her field.
