Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility under the required three regulatory criteria. While the petitioner met the criterion for judging the work of others, he did not establish that he had made original scientific contributions of major significance to the field. The AAO determined that the evidence, including citation counts, was insufficient to prove that the petitioner's work had a significant impact on the field as a whole, a requirement to meet this criterion.
