Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition, finding the beneficiary met only two of the required three criteria. The AAO found the Director erred in assessing the 'leading or critical role' criterion, concluding that evidence of a company's distinguished reputation within one country is sufficient to meet the 'national or international acclaim' standard. Because this third criterion was met, the case was remanded for a final merits determination.
Criteria Discussed
Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Membership In Associations That Require Outstanding Achievements Published Material About The Individual Participation As A Judge Of The Work Of Others Authorship Of Scholarly Articles Leading Or Critical Role For Distinguished Organizations
