Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the petitioner did meet the criterion for 'lesser nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards,' which the Director had failed to consider in the initial decision. Having established that the petitioner met three regulatory criteria, the AAO conducted a final merits determination and concluded that the petitioner had demonstrated the sustained acclaim and high level of expertise required for the classification.
