Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because although the petitioner met the minimum threshold of three evidentiary criteria, the AAO found the evidence insufficient in the final merits determination. The decision concluded that her achievements, including judging two festivals and authoring one book, did not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim or prove she had risen to the very top of her field.
