Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director's denial was procedurally deficient and insufficient for review. The AAO found that the Director failed to adequately explain the reasons for the denial, did not properly consider or analyze the evidence submitted for several criteria, and misapplied USCIS policy regarding the 'leading or critical role' criterion. The case was sent back for a new, properly reasoned decision.
