Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO determined the petitioner met a third evidentiary criterion, artistic displays, in addition to the two previously accepted by the Director (published material and high salary). In the final merits determination, the AAO found that the petitioner's work on hundreds of runways for top designers, features in major publications like Vogue and Elle, and high salary demonstrated sustained international acclaim, placing her at the very top of her field.
