Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained, reversing the director's initial denial. The director had determined that the petitioner, a professor and researcher studying avian brood parasites, had not established sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO's decision to sustain the appeal indicates that upon review, likely applying the two-step Kazarian framework, the petitioner was found to have met the high standard for an alien of extraordinary ability.
