Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required minimum of three regulatory criteria. While the Director found the petitioner satisfied the criteria for scholarly articles and a leading/critical role, the AAO determined he did not meet the criteria for membership in associations or for having made original contributions of major significance, as his citation count and recommendation letters did not sufficiently demonstrate a significant impact on the field.
