Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum of three evidentiary criteria. The AAO found that an award was received after the petition's filing date and was therefore ineligible. Additionally, the petitioner did not establish that her original contributions were of major significance, failing to provide context for a citation in a WHO publication or demonstrate that her citation count was unusually high for her field.
