Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the third required evidentiary criterion. The AAO concluded the evidence did not demonstrate that the beneficiary's original contributions were of major significance, noting his citation count was not high relative to others in his field. Although the AAO found the Director undervalued expert letters, the record as a whole was insufficient to prove the beneficiary's contributions were of major significance.
