Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the initial evidentiary requirement of satisfying at least three criteria. The AAO found the evidence submitted for the 'original contributions of major significance' criterion, specifically the recommendation letters, only described the petitioner's impact on his employers rather than the field as a whole. Since the petitioner could not meet the three-criteria threshold, the petition was ultimately denied.
