Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found the petitioner met three of the required evidentiary criteria, contrary to the Director's finding of only two. Specifically, the AAO determined that the petitioner satisfied the 'published material about the alien' criterion by providing articles and interviews in major national newspapers. Based on meeting this threshold and a final merits determination of the full record, the AAO concluded the petitioner demonstrated sustained national acclaim.
