Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate they met the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria. While the Director acknowledged the petitioner met the criteria for judging the work of others and for authorship of scholarly articles, the AAO found the evidence submitted on appeal was insufficient to establish that the petitioner's work constituted original contributions of major significance to the field.
