Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary met at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO agreed that the beneficiary met only one criterion (leading or critical roles). The petitioner's evidence was insufficient to prove the beneficiary commanded a high salary at the time of filing, as the submitted wage data was not an appropriate basis for comparison.
