Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria for extraordinary ability. The Director revoked the initial approval after determining the petitioner only met two criteria (judging and scholarly articles). The AAO agreed, finding the petitioner did not sufficiently prove his work constituted original contributions of major significance, as publication in reputable journals alone was not enough to meet this standard.
