Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary is an alien with extraordinary ability. The evidence did not demonstrate the significance of the beneficiary's awards, many of which were from junior competitions, and failed to show sustained acclaim as she had not won an award in approximately six years. The evidence for membership in an association requiring outstanding achievements was also found to be insufficient.
