Decision Summary
The Director improperly conflated the initial evidentiary review with the final merits determination, denying the 'judging' criterion because a single instance was not 'consistent with sustained national or international acclaim.' The AAO found the petitioner did provide sufficient evidence for the judging criterion, thus meeting the requisite three criteria. The case was remanded for the Director to conduct the second step of the analysis, the final merits determination, correctly.
