Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under at least three of the ten regulatory criteria. While the Director credited the petitioner for meeting the criteria for judging and scholarly articles, the AAO concluded that the petitioner did not prove his original contributions, including his patents, were of major significance to the field, as he failed to show they had been widely implemented or had a remarkable impact on the industry as a whole.
