Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found the director's denial was based on flawed reasoning. The AAO determined that the petitioner, a creative director, met three regulatory criteria by demonstrating receipt of internationally recognized awards, being the subject of published material in major trade publications, and serving as a judge of the work of others, thereby establishing sustained acclaim.
