Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. While the Director acknowledged the petitioner met the criteria for authorship and high remuneration, the AAO found he did not prove he performed in a leading or critical role for distinguished organizations. The AAO concluded that his work as a contractor providing IT support, even for prominent clients, was not integral to the clients' primary business activities and thus not considered a critical role.
