Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required three evidentiary criteria. While the director acknowledged the petitioner met the criteria for judging the work of others and authorship of scholarly articles, the AAO determined the petitioner did not establish that his work constituted original contributions of major significance. The AAO found that his low citation count and letters of recommendation did not sufficiently demonstrate a widespread impact on the field as a whole.
