Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required three out of ten evidentiary criteria. The AAO affirmed the Director's finding that the petitioner's evidence for original contributions did not demonstrate 'major significance' to the field, but rather only moderate significance. Since the petitioner only satisfied two criteria, the appeal was dismissed.
