Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that he met the minimum of three required evidentiary criteria for the classification. While the Director found he met the criteria for judging the work of others and holding a leading or critical role, the AAO determined he did not provide sufficient evidence for other claimed criteria, such as original contributions of major significance. Specifically, his claims of widespread impact on the field were not supported by independent, objective evidence.
