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.
