Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate she met the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria. While the Director and AAO agreed she met the criteria for judging and scholarly articles, she did not sufficiently prove that her work constituted original contributions of major significance to the field. The AAO found that her citation numbers were not contextualized to show they were unusually high for her field, and the recommendation letters did not establish the major significance of her achievements.
