Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required three of ten evidentiary criteria. The Director and the AAO found the petitioner only satisfied one criterion (published material). The AAO concluded that letters praising the petitioner's unique look and background did not prove original contributions of major significance to the field, as they did not show a broader impact beyond his specific projects.
