Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner provided additional evidence on appeal to meet a third regulatory criterion, specifically demonstrating a high salary in relation to others in the field. The Director had initially found only two criteria were met. Upon review of all the evidence, including the petitioner's highly cited scholarly articles and peer review activities, the AAO concluded in the final merits determination that he had demonstrated extraordinary ability.
