Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition because the petitioner failed to establish the significance of the publications in which her work was discussed. On appeal, the petitioner provided new evidence, including letters from official sources and circulation data, that successfully demonstrated the national or international reach of these publications. This new evidence overcame the director's initial concerns, leading the AAO to conclude the petitioner met the required criteria and sustain the appeal.
