Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The Director and the AAO agreed the petitioner met the criteria for judging the work of others and authorship of scholarly articles, but found she did not prove her original research constituted contributions of 'major significance' to the field, as the evidence did not demonstrate a sufficient impact or influence.
