Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required three evidentiary criteria. While the AAO agreed that the petitioner established the 'published materials' and 'leading or critical role' criteria, it overturned the Director's finding on the 'high salary' criterion. The AAO concluded that the comparative salary data provided for sales and marketing managers was not a meaningful comparison to the petitioner's senior executive role, and thus the petitioner did not prove their remuneration was high relative to others in the field.
