Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the petitioner satisfied four evidentiary criteria, contrary to the Director's initial finding of only one. The AAO concluded that evidence of published materials, the display of his work at exhibitions, his leading role for a distinguished organization, and his high salary, when viewed in totality, established that the petitioner had achieved sustained national acclaim and was at the very top of his field.
