Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required number of evidentiary criteria. The AAO determined that an award submitted was given to the petitioner's employer, not the petitioner himself, and lacked evidence of national or international recognition. While the judging criterion was met, the evidence for original contributions of major significance did not establish widespread utilization or impact rising to the level of major significance in the field.
