Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for at least three of the ten evidentiary criteria. The Director had found the petitioner met the criteria for a leading/critical role and high salary, but on appeal, the AAO determined the evidence was insufficient to meet the 'original contributions of major significance' criterion, as it did not show the petitioner's work had a broad impact on the field.
