Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate they met at least three of the required criteria to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence submitted for membership in associations, authorship of articles, and display of work at exhibitions was found to be insufficient and lacking proof of significance or prestige. The AAO concluded the petitioner had not shown she was among the small percentage at the very top of her field.
