Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum of three required evidentiary criteria. Although the Director found the petitioner met the criteria for judging and authorship of scholarly articles, the AAO concluded that the petitioner did not demonstrate that his work constituted original contributions of major significance. The evidence, including citation records and media mentions, was found insufficient to prove his work had a major impact rising to the top of the field.
