Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the beneficiary met the required evidentiary criteria. The provided testimonial letters praised the beneficiary's work but did not establish that her contributions were of major significance to the field of education counseling. The evidence did not demonstrate that her work was widely implemented, remarkably impactful, or otherwise rose to the level required to be considered among the small percentage at the top of the field.
