Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria. The Director found the petitioner met the criteria for judging and scholarly articles, but the AAO concluded they did not demonstrate original contributions of major significance. The evidence of publications, presentations, and citation counts was insufficient to prove the petitioner's work had a major impact on the field as a whole.
