Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the petitioner met two additional criteria beyond the two initially accepted by the Director, satisfying the evidentiary threshold. The AAO accepted the petitioner's role as a voting member for the Grammy Awards as evidence of judging the work of others, and the Gold and Platinum sales certifications for an album he co-produced as evidence of commercial success. In the final merits determination, the AAO concluded that the totality of the evidence, including his sustained international acclaim and significant contributions to critically acclaimed works, established that he is an individual of extraordinary ability.
