Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the Director erred in evaluating the evidence. The AAO determined the petitioner did meet at least three criteria, including published material in major media, judging the work of others, and display of work at artistic exhibitions or showcases, disagreeing with the Director's narrow interpretation of the regulations. Based on the totality of the evidence, the AAO concluded the petitioner demonstrated sustained national or international acclaim.
