Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required three evidentiary criteria. Although the Director acknowledged the petitioner met the criteria for judging and authorship, the AAO affirmed that the evidence did not establish her work constituted original contributions of major significance. The AAO found her citation record and comparative data did not sufficiently demonstrate a significant impact on the field as a whole.
