Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required three evidentiary criteria. The Director and AAO agreed that the petitioner met the criteria for judging the work of others and authoring scholarly articles, but found he did not establish that his original research contributions were of major significance to the field. The AAO concluded that the provided citation counts and letters of recommendation were insufficient to demonstrate a field-wide impact rising to the level of major significance.
