Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required three evidentiary criteria. Although the Director and AAO found the petitioner met the criteria for authorship of scholarly articles and judging the work of others, the AAO concluded that the evidence did not demonstrate that his original research rose to the level of a contribution of major significance to the field. The reference letters showed his work was used by a few other researchers but did not establish a widespread impact or influence on the field as a whole.
