Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner ultimately did not meet the required three evidentiary criteria. Although the Service Center Director found she met three criteria, the AAO disagreed, finding she only met two (judging and authorship). The AAO concluded that the petitioner's evidence for 'original contributions of major significance' was insufficient, as her citation counts were not high enough and the expert letters lacked specific evidence of her work's widespread impact.
