Decision Summary
The AAO reviewed the director's approval on certification and found that the record did not support the decision. The AAO concluded that the petitioner failed to meet the high standard for the classification, as the evidence did not demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim or that the petitioner had risen to the very top of the field of arts. Therefore, the AAO withdrew the director's approval and denied the petition.
