Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO determined the petitioner met five evidentiary criteria, contrary to the Director's finding of only two. The AAO found that the petitioner's nationally recognized awards, high salary, participation as a judge, leading role in distinguished organizations, and published material about him demonstrated sustained national acclaim. Considering the totality of the evidence, the AAO concluded the petitioner proved he is among the small percentage at the very top of his field.
