Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum of three evidentiary criteria. While the petitioner was found to have met the criteria for judging the work of others and authoring scholarly articles, the AAO concluded he did not establish that his work constituted original contributions of major significance. The evidence, including citation records and reference letters, did not demonstrate that his research had risen to a level of major importance or influence within the field.
