Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition, finding the petitioner met only two of the required three evidentiary criteria. The AAO remanded the case, concluding that the Director erred by overlooking evidence that the petitioner's former employer had a distinguished reputation. This satisfied the 'leading or critical role' criterion, bringing the petitioner's met criteria to the required three and warranting a new final merits determination.
