Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the AAO withdrew the Director's initial finding that the petitioner met the 'original contributions' criterion. The AAO determined that while the petitioner's research was original, the evidence, including letters, grant proposals, and a low citation count, did not demonstrate that his work had risen to the level of major significance in the field. Consequently, the petitioner failed to meet the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria.
