Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director's denial was procedurally deficient. The AAO found that the Director failed to adequately explain the reasons for rejecting the evidence under the awards criterion and did not correctly apply the plain language of the regulation for the leading and critical roles criterion. The case was sent back for proper reevaluation and the entry of a new, well-reasoned decision.
