Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the Director had improperly applied the regulations. The Director imposed a novel evidentiary requirement for the 'judging' criterion that went beyond the plain language of the law. Upon review, the AAO determined the petitioner had submitted sufficient evidence to meet the regulatory criteria for extraordinary ability.
