sustained EB-1A Case: Business
Decision Summary
On a motion to reopen, the AAO granted the motion and approved the petition. It found that the petitioner had overcome previous concerns by submitting new evidence establishing the organization's distinguished reputation, thus satisfying the 'leading or critical role' criterion. It also re-evaluated the beneficiary's salary and found it met the 'high remuneration' criterion, which, combined with the previously accepted 'awards' criterion, established the beneficiary's eligibility.
Criteria Discussed
Documentation Of The Alien'S Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards For Excellence In The Field Of Endeavor. Evidence That The Alien Has Performed In A Leading Or Critical Role For Organizations Or Establishments That Have A Distinguished Reputation. Evidence That The Alien Has Commanded A High Salary Or Other Significantly High Remuneration For Services, In Relation To Others In The Field.
