Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO agreed with the Director that there was a significant gap of seven to eight years in the petitioner's achievements after moving to the U.S. and prior to filing the petition, which indicated she had not maintained the requisite level of acclaim for this visa category.
