Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required three evidentiary criteria for the EB-1A classification. While the Director and AAO agreed the petitioner met the criteria for judging others' work and authoring scholarly articles, the evidence was insufficient to establish the third claimed criterion of original scientific contributions of major significance. The recommendation letters, while showing his work was useful to specific researchers, did not demonstrate that his contributions had a major impact on the field as a whole.
