Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet at least three of the ten evidentiary criteria. The AAO found that the petitioner's written articles did not meet the publication criterion because their distribution was intentionally restricted to institutional clients and not available to the field at large. This limited distribution also prevented the petitioner's work from being considered an original contribution of major significance to the field.
