Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the Beneficiary met the 'leading or critical role' criterion, in addition to the two criteria (scholarly articles and high salary) previously acknowledged by the Director. The AAO determined that the Beneficiary's senior executive position, his significant impact on the company's profitability and market share, and his high-level decision-making demonstrated a leading or critical role, thus meeting the minimum of three criteria required for further consideration.
