Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility under the required three criteria for extraordinary ability. Although the Service Center Director found four criteria were met, the AAO on de novo review disagreed, finding the evidence insufficient for the criteria of original contributions, critical role, and membership. The submitted letters were deemed vague and did not prove that the petitioner's work rose to the level of major significance or had a broad impact on the field.
