Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria. While the AAO agreed that the petitioner satisfied the 'leading or critical role' and 'high salary' criteria, it found the evidence insufficient for 'judging the work of others' and 'contributions of major significance.' Providing informal advice was not considered formal judging, and the petitioner's work with a small number of breweries was not deemed to have an impact on the field as a whole.
