Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the original revocation was based on a conclusory consular report that applied an incorrect legal standard, requiring international acclaim when national acclaim is also sufficient. The AAO found the director's reasons for revocation, including the dismissal of the petitioner's awards, were not supported by the record and could not serve as a good and sufficient basis for revocation.
