Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under the required minimum of three regulatory criteria. While the Director found the petitioner met the criteria for judging the work of others and for authoring scholarly articles, the AAO concluded that the petitioner did not demonstrate that his research constituted original contributions of major significance to the field. Evidence such as citation count and conference presentations did not establish that his work had a major impact on the field as a whole.
