Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The Director had found the petitioner met the criteria for judging and scholarly articles, but the AAO concluded the petitioner did not demonstrate that his original contributions were of major significance to the field. Specifically, his paper was one of many citations in international guidelines without being distinguished, and letters of support lacked specific details explaining the major impact of his work on the field as a whole.
