Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility by meeting at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The AAO withdrew the director's initial findings that the petitioner had met the criteria for 'original contributions of major significance' and 'display of work.' Although the AAO agreed the petitioner met the 'authorship of scholarly articles' criterion, this single criterion was insufficient and the evidence was not considered indicative of sustained acclaim at the very top of the field.
