Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum of three evidentiary criteria. While she satisfied the criteria for judging the work of others and authoring scholarly articles, the AAO found she did not prove her original contributions were of 'major significance' at the time of filing. The evidence presented, such as an evaluation plan for tobacco control, showed potential future impact but did not demonstrate that it had already significantly influenced the field.
