Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish eligibility for at least three of the required criteria. While the Director found the petitioner met two criteria (judging and original contributions), the AAO on de novo review found the petitioner only met the judging criterion. The AAO concluded that the evidence for original contributions, such as a software tool, lacked corroboration and did not demonstrate a major impact on the field as a whole.
