Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required three evidentiary criteria. Although she met the criteria for judging others' work and authorship of scholarly articles, she did not successfully demonstrate that her original contributions were of major significance to her field. The AAO determined that publishing numerous articles and accumulating citations, even in high-impact journals, was insufficient on its own to prove the work had a major impact on the field as a whole.
