Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary met the minimum of three required evidentiary criteria for an O-1 visa. The AAO determined that the evidence of awards and prizes was not sufficient to establish national or international recognition. Furthermore, the beneficiary's memberships in associations did not require outstanding achievements as judged by experts, and the published material about her was not from major media or professional trade publications.
