sustained EB-1A Case: Film Festival Producer

📅 Date unknown 👤 Individual 📂 Film Festival Producer

Decision Summary

The appeal was sustained because the AAO determined that the petitioner had established the beneficiary's eligibility, contrary to the director's findings. The AAO found the petitioner met the criterion for published materials in major media, citing articles in the Los Angeles Times and The New York Times, and disagreed with the director's conclusion that this coverage was merely 'expected and routine.' The AAO concluded that the petitioner had successfully met the required number of evidentiary criteria for the classification.
