Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required threshold of three evidentiary criteria. While the Director and AAO found the petitioner met the criteria for judging the work of others and authorship of scholarly articles, they concluded he did not prove his original contributions were of major significance. The evidence, including patents and support letters, was found to attest to the work's originality but not its significant impact on the field.
