Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the sustained national or international acclaim required for the classification. The director determined the evidence did not prove the petitioner was one of the small percentage at the very top of her field. On appeal, counsel did not substantively address these deficiencies, and the record as a whole was found insufficient to meet the high standard for this visa category.
