Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found the beneficiary met three of the required evidentiary criteria, contrary to the Director's finding of only one. The AAO determined the beneficiary qualified under the awards criterion by playing a vital role in his company's receipt of national awards, and under the high salary criterion by demonstrating his salary was high in relation to the field as a whole. Combined with the previously met leading or critical role criterion, the totality of the evidence supported a finding of sustained national acclaim.
