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.
