Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility for at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The Director found the petitioner met the criteria for judging and scholarly articles, but the AAO determined the evidence did not establish that the petitioner's work constituted original contributions of major significance to the field. Support letters spoke prospectively of the work's impact, indicating it had not yet risen to the level of major significance.
