Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that her work constituted original contributions of major significance in the field. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that while the petitioner had published articles and served as a peer reviewer, she had not demonstrated that her work had a significant impact, was heavily cited, or was widely implemented to meet the high standard for this criterion.
