Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director made several legal errors. The AAO found the Director improperly conflated the two-step Kazarian analysis by applying the final merits standard to individual criteria, incorrectly determined that documents lacked required certified translations, and misapplied the standard for what constitutes a 'leading or critical role'.
