Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility by meeting the minimum of three required evidentiary criteria. The director determined the petitioner only met one criterion (judging the work of others), and the AAO agreed, noting the petitioner abandoned the 'published materials' claim on appeal and did not sufficiently prove 'original contributions of major significance'.
