Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum of three required evidentiary criteria. While the Director acknowledged the petitioner met the criteria for authorship of scholarly articles and high salary, the AAO found the evidence insufficient to establish that the petitioner's contributions were of major significance to the field or that he performed in a leading or critical role for distinguished organizations.
