The appeal was dismissed because, upon a final merits determination, the AAO concluded that the totality of the evidence did not establish that the Beneficiary is internationally recognized as outstanding in her academic field. Although the Beneficiary met the initial evidentiary requirements of two criteria (judging and scholarly articles), the overall record was found insufficient to demonstrate the high level of acclaim required for this classification.
