Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found the Director incorrectly diminished the weight of the Petitioner's 20-year-old National Film Award and failed to give proper weight to the totality of the evidence. The AAO determined that extensive newspaper coverage, testimonials from prominent figures, and her long-standing role with a notable theatre troupe were sufficient to establish sustained national acclaim and that she is one of the small percentage at the top of her field.
