Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition, concluding the beneficiary did not meet the required three evidentiary criteria, having only satisfied two. On appeal, the petitioner asserted that the director failed to consider evidence for at least one additional criterion. The AAO agreed with the petitioner and sustained the appeal, finding the beneficiary did in fact meet the threshold for classification as an alien of extraordinary ability.
