Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the AAO found the Director's denial was based on a flawed analysis and inadequate review of the evidence. The Director failed to properly consider the petitioner's evidence for several criteria, including published material, judging, and artistic showcases, and misinterpreted the regulations regarding a leading role. The case was sent back for a new decision consistent with the AAO's analysis.
