O-1B Deep Dive Part 3: How to distinguish lead, starring or critical role

Today is part three of our six-part deep dive into the O-1B visa.

You can go back to our last two episodes to catch up if you missed them.

This series is about the often convoluted language in the USCIS regulations that gets glossed over and misunderstood, and that that people far too often get wrong.

One of the criterion for the O-1B that, IMHO, causes the most confusion is evidence that the foreign national “has performed, and will perform, in a lead, starring, or critical role for organizations and establishments that have a distinguished reputation evidenced by articles in newspapers, trade journals, publications, or testimonials.” 8 CFR §214.2(o)(3)(iv)(B)(3)

What’s so difficult about this criterion? Why do so many people get it wrong?
