Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility under at least three regulatory criteria. While the original director found the petitioner met the criteria for judging, scholarly articles, and original contributions, the AAO on review determined the evidence did not support a finding of original contributions of major significance. The AAO found the petitioner's citation record and recommendation letters were insufficient to prove his work had a major impact on the field as a whole.
