Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because, although the beneficiary met the initial evidence requirements, the AAO conducted a final merits determination and found the totality of the evidence did not establish that she is internationally recognized as outstanding in her field. The reference letters and citation evidence were found to be insufficient to demonstrate the significance and impact of her research beyond a routine level.
