Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found the petitioner met additional evidentiary criteria that the Director had previously denied. The AAO determined the petitioner's prizes from international competitions were nationally or internationally recognized awards and that an article about her qualified as published material in major media. Ultimately, the AAO found the petitioner satisfied four criteria, sufficient to demonstrate sustained acclaim and rise to the top of her field.
