Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the required three evidentiary criteria. While the Director agreed that the beneficiary met the criteria for having a leading/critical role and a high salary, the petitioner did not successfully demonstrate on appeal that the beneficiary met any additional criteria, such as performing as a lead or starring participant in events with a distinguished reputation.
