Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO affirmed the Director's denial, finding that while the petitioner met the 'published material' criterion, the evidence did not establish 'original contributions of major significance.' The submitted reference letters were deemed insufficient as they described the petitioner's work as important without demonstrating how it had a significant impact or influence on the field as a whole.
