Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found the petitioner met three regulatory criteria (published material, original contributions, and leading/critical role). The AAO's final merits determination concluded that the petitioner, described as a "legend" and the "godfather of Chinese floor[ing]" for introducing laminate flooring to China and building successful companies, demonstrated sustained national acclaim and was within the small percentage at the very top of the business field.
