Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the required three evidentiary criteria. Although the Director and AAO agreed the petitioner met the criteria for judging the work of others and for authorship of scholarly articles, they found he did not prove his research constituted original contributions of major significance. The AAO concluded that having his work cited in a professional organization's consensus statement was not sufficient to demonstrate a major impact on the field as a whole.
