Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary met the minimum required three evidentiary criteria. The Director initially found only two criteria were met, and the AAO's review concluded that the evidence provided for additional criteria, such as original contributions of major significance, was insufficient. The petitioner's arguments regarding patents and citation counts did not establish that the beneficiary's contributions were of major significance to the field.
