AAO reaffirmed its prior conclusion that the Petitioner did not show sustained national or international acclaim.

Although not required to conduct a final merits determination given the failure to meet three criteria, AAO reviewed the record in the aggregate and concluded it does not support a finding of the required sustained acclaim or that the Beneficiary is among the small percentage at the very top of the field.

The evidence did not confirm she received a cash prize, the jury used no predetermined criteria, and the booth award was issued after the filing date and belonged to the employer rather than the Beneficiary.
