sustained EB-1A Case: African Art
Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition, finding that the petitioner met only one of the required regulatory criteria. On appeal, the petitioner submitted additional evidence that addressed the director's concerns, specifically regarding the significance and circulation of publications that had written about her work. This new evidence was sufficient to meet the 'published materials' criterion, and as a result, the appeal was sustained and the petition was approved.
