Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that he met the minimum of three evidentiary criteria required for the classification. While the Director and AAO agreed he met the 'leading or critical role' criterion, they rejected his arguments for meeting others, including his attempt to use 'comparable evidence' without first establishing why the standard criteria do not apply to his occupation as a Sherpa.
