Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required three evidentiary criteria. The Director had found the petitioner met two criteria (leading/critical role and high salary), but on appeal, the AAO determined the petitioner did not prove she also met the criterion for original contributions of major significance. The evidence showed her work impacted her own company but did not demonstrate a significant influence on the wider banking field.
