Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate he met at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner only satisfied the 'high salary' criterion. The evidence for 'published material' was rejected as the articles were not about the petitioner, and the evidence for 'original contributions of major significance' failed to establish that his work was widely implemented or had a major impact on the field.
