Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the director failed to properly evaluate the evidence. The petitioner successfully demonstrated that he met at least three regulatory criteria: receipt of nationally recognized awards, authorship of scholarly articles, and serving in a leading or critical role for distinguished organizations. The AAO concluded the evidence, in totality, established the required sustained national acclaim.
