Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because, although the beneficiary met three initial evidentiary criteria (judging, display, and leading/critical role), the AAO determined in the final merits analysis that the evidence did not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The record did not show that the beneficiary's achievements were recognized as being at the very top of the field, as her roles did not garner significant individual attention or acclaim beyond the petitioning organization.
