Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the petitioner submitted sufficient evidence to establish that the company's awards were primarily attributable to the beneficiary's work as a master craftsman. The initial denial stated the awards were given to the petitioner company, not the beneficiary, but on appeal, published material and company statements linked the beneficiary directly to the award-winning work, leading the AAO to withdraw the director's determination.
