Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO, upon de novo review, determined the petitioner met three required evidentiary criteria: published material, display of her work, and serving in a leading or critical role for distinguished organizations. The Director had initially found that the petitioner met none of the criteria. The AAO concluded that the totality of the evidence, including her work as a lead designer for numerous top fashion brands and the significant commercial success of her designs, demonstrated sustained international acclaim and established her as an individual of extraordinary ability.
