Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum three out of ten evidentiary criteria required for the classification. The Director had already credited the petitioner with meeting the criteria for judging the work of others and authoring scholarly articles. However, the AAO determined that the petitioner did not sufficiently demonstrate that his original scientific contributions were of major significance to the field, as the evidence of citations did not prove widespread impact or substantial influence.
