Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that she met at least three of the required regulatory criteria. The evidence for awards, a Presidential Citation from a local Rotary Club, was not considered a nationally or internationally recognized prize. Furthermore, the petitioner did not demonstrate that her memberships in various organizations required outstanding achievements as judged by experts.
