Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO determined that the petitioner met the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria, contrary to the Director's initial finding of only one. The AAO found sufficient evidence for the petitioner's role as a judge of the work of others and as the subject of published material in major media. The final merits determination concluded that the petitioner's achievements, particularly his co-founding of a highly recognized renewable energy company, demonstrated sustained acclaim and placed him at the top of his field.
