Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because after a final merits determination, the AAO found the petitioner had demonstrated extraordinary ability. Although the Director had initially found the petitioner met three criteria, the AAO determined that the totality of the evidence, including extensive judging experience, a highly-cited publication record, and strong letters from experts, proved the petitioner had sustained acclaim and was at the top of his field.
