Critical / Leading Role Letter — Criterion 7 Template
A letter from an organization confirming that you held a critical or leading role there — and that the organization has a distinguished reputation. One per organization you're claiming.
This is a scaffold, not a fill-in-the-blanks form. Rewrite it in the signer’s own voice and structure — USCIS discounts letters that share wording or layout. Keep the specifics (metrics, named examples); change everything else.
