Decision Summary

The appeal was sustained because the AAO determined that the petitioner, a dancer and choreographer, successfully met at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO found that the petitioner's Canadian theatre awards satisfied the 'lesser nationally recognized awards' criterion, his work on various productions met the 'display at artistic exhibitions or showcases' criterion, and his role as chief choreographer for a distinguished company fulfilled the 'leading or critical role' criterion. Upon final merits determination, this evidence was sufficient to demonstrate sustained acclaim and that the petitioner is among the small percentage at the top of his field.
