AAO withdrew the director's finding on two grounds: (1) the submission of a self-serving letter showing only a job title is insufficient to establish a leading or critical role without documentary evidence comparing the petitioner to other employees; and (2) the plain language of the regulation uses the plural 'organizations or establishments,' requiring leading or critical roles in more than one organization or establishment.
