Decision Summary

The AAO agreed with the Director's findings that the petitioner met two criteria (original contributions and leading/critical role) but failed to meet two others (awards and published material). The awards were given to the petitioner's company, not to him personally, and the submitted article was not sufficiently about him. The case was remanded for a new decision to be issued consistent with the AAO's analysis.
