Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary met at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO re-evaluated a criterion the Director had initially approved, 'original contributions of major significance,' and concluded the evidence was insufficient. The beneficiary's publications, media reports, and patent did not establish that his work had a major impact on the field, as much of the evidence pointed to potential future impact rather than recognized, sustained acclaim.
