Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum of three evidentiary criteria. The Director had acknowledged two criteria (authorship of scholarly articles and high salary), but the AAO concluded on appeal that the petitioner did not sufficiently establish that he had performed in a 'leading or critical role' for his employer. The evidence, while showing his contributions, did not demonstrate their importance to the organization's overall activities.
