Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. Although the Director and AAO found she met the criteria for awards and published material, the AAO concluded the evidence for original contributions of major significance was insufficient. The submitted reference letters lacked specificity regarding the originality and impact of her training methods, with some letters merely restating the petitioner's own claims.
