Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required three evidentiary criteria. The AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner met two criteria but found the evidence for 'original contributions of major significance' was insufficient. The AAO noted that support letters were questionable due to striking similarities and did not adequately explain how the petitioner's findings were of major significance, rather than just incremental scientific findings.
