Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate she met the required three evidentiary criteria. The Director and the AAO concluded she satisfied the criteria for judging and authoring scholarly articles, but failed to establish that her work constituted original contributions of major significance. A key point of the decision was that eligibility must be established at the time of filing, and evidence arising after that date, such as new citations, cannot be used to qualify.
