Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO determined the petitioner demonstrated sustained international acclaim in the final merits analysis. Although the Director found the petitioner only met three criteria and failed the final merits test, the AAO reviewed new evidence on appeal. This evidence established that the petitioner's multiple international awards were significant, judged by renowned experts, and received international press coverage, thereby proving eligibility for the classification.
