Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary met at least three of the ten evidentiary criteria. The Director credited the beneficiary with meeting the criteria for judging others' work and authoring scholarly articles, but the AAO found the evidence insufficient to demonstrate that his original contributions were of major significance to the field.
