Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required three evidentiary criteria. The Director found the petitioner met the criteria for judging the work of others and authorship of scholarly articles, but on appeal, the petitioner failed to establish he also met the criterion for original contributions of major significance. The AAO determined that his citation record and publications, while showing he shared his research, did not demonstrate a widespread impact rising to the level of major significance in his field.
