Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the totality of the evidence demonstrated the petitioner's sustained acclaim. The AAO found that significant media coverage portrayed him as a prominent and well-known artist, he was selected for lucrative projects by major clients based on his existing reputation, and a solo exhibition of his creative process indicated a high level of public interest. These factors, considered together, established that he is among the small percentage at the top of his field.
