Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum of three evidentiary criteria. The AAO withdrew the Director's finding regarding the 'membership in associations' criterion, concluding the petitioner had not established that the association requires outstanding achievements of its members. Furthermore, the petitioner's evidence for 'original contributions of major significance,' specifically her Ph.D. thesis, was deemed insufficient as the reference letters did not demonstrate its impact or influence on the field.
