Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner met the 'judging' criterion, but overturned the Director's finding on the 'leading or critical role' criterion due to insufficient evidence. The petitioner also failed to prove the 'high remuneration' criterion and abandoned claims for three other criteria on appeal.
