Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under the required three evidentiary criteria. While the petitioner met the criteria for judging others' work and authorship of scholarly articles, the AAO determined that the evidence did not demonstrate that his original contributions were of major significance to the field. The submitted recommendation letters, while praising his research, did not show that his work had been widely implemented or had a remarkable impact beyond informing other researchers.
