Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required three of ten evidentiary criteria. The Director had credited the petitioner with meeting the criteria for judging and scholarly articles, but the AAO found the evidence for original contributions of major significance was insufficient. The petitioner's journal reviews, publication history, and citation counts did not demonstrate that his work had a major impact on the field.
