Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. While the Director and AAO agreed that the petitioner met the criteria for judging the work of others and for scholarly articles, they found she did not demonstrate that her original contributions were of major significance to the field as a whole. The evidence showed her work's impact was primarily limited to her specific lab and lacked proof of widespread implementation or influence.
