Decision Summary
The Director's decision was withdrawn and the case was remanded. The AAO disagreed with the Director's finding on the 'leading or critical role' criterion, concluding that the petitioner's position as a Senior Research Fellow at a distinguished government institute did satisfy the requirement. Since the petitioner met the minimum three evidentiary criteria, the case was sent back for a final merits determination.
