Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO considered the petitioner's work as both a fashion model and an actress. The director had incorrectly separated the two fields. The AAO found the petitioner met three criteria: published materials about her work, commanding a significantly high salary as a model (28 times higher than the level two wage), and evidence of commercial success in the performing arts based on a film role that grossed $115 million internationally.
