Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that she met the minimum of three evidentiary criteria. The Director initially found the petitioner met two criteria (awards and leading role), but on appeal, the AAO re-evaluated and withdrew the finding for the awards criterion. The AAO concluded the evidence did not prove the national or international significance of the petitioner's awards, thus leaving her short of the required three criteria for extraordinary ability.
