Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because after reviewing the evidence in the aggregate, including new evidence submitted on appeal, the AAO determined the petitioner established eligibility by a preponderance of the evidence. The decision notes the application of the two-part analysis from Kazarian v. USCIS, where evidence is first counted to see if it meets the regulatory minimum, followed by a final merits determination of whether the petitioner has sustained national or international acclaim.
