Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence, including a single letter of recommendation, was found insufficient to demonstrate original contributions of major significance, and there was no proof of authorship of scholarly articles. The petitioner did not respond to the director's request for additional evidence and failed to prove she was one of the small percentage at the very top of her field.
