Decision Summary
Although the Director found the petitioner met three initial criteria, the petition was denied based on a final merits determination. The AAO sustained the appeal, concluding that the totality of the evidence, including 14 international awards, extensive participation as a judge in international competitions, and numerous reference letters, demonstrated the petitioner's sustained international acclaim and proved she is one of the small percentage at the very top of her field.
