Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO withdrew the Director's initial favorable finding on the 'leading or critical role' criterion, concluding that the evidence for the petitioner's roles as a guest lecturer and film hair stylist was insufficient to prove they were leading or critical for distinguished organizations. As the petitioner could not meet the minimum threshold of three criteria, the appeal was dismissed.
