Decision Summary
The director initially determined the petitioner had not established the requisite extraordinary ability. The AAO sustained the appeal, finding that upon de novo review and application of the two-part analysis from Kazarian v. USCIS, the petitioner's evidence was sufficient to meet at least three of the ten regulatory criteria, thereby establishing eligibility for the classification.
