Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim in her field of somatic movement therapy. The evidence provided, such as a scholarship for dance from 1982, was deemed irrelevant to her current field and did not show sustained acclaim. Additionally, the petitioner did not prove that her membership in a professional association required outstanding achievements from its members.
