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 already credited the petitioner with meeting the criteria for judging the work of others and authorship of scholarly articles. The AAO found that the petitioner did not adequately demonstrate that his original scientific contributions were of major significance, as his citation history was not shown to be exceptional or indicative of a major impact on the field.
