Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required three criteria for an alien of extraordinary ability. The AAO concurred with the director that memberships in standard professional organizations like ACS and IEEE were not sufficient, articles citing the petitioner's work were not considered 'about' the petitioner, and reference letters from close colleagues did not establish that his contributions were of major significance to the field as a whole. While the petitioner met the scholarly articles criterion, this alone was insufficient to establish eligibility.
