Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the minimum required three evidentiary criteria. While the petitioner met the criterion for judging the work of others, the AAO found the evidence, including reference letters, was insufficient to demonstrate original contributions of major significance to the field. The petitioner abandoned several other criteria on appeal, thus failing to meet the threshold for the classification sought.
