Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained acclaim. The AAO found that the submitted awards lacked evidence of being nationally or internationally recognized for excellence and were too old to demonstrate current acclaim. Furthermore, the petitioner's membership in a national commission was deemed to be a political appointment based on service length, not outstanding achievements judged by experts, and her membership had expired years before the petition was filed.
