Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under the minimum of three regulatory criteria required. Although the petitioner met the 'judging' criterion, the AAO found the evidence submitted for 'original contributions of major significance' did not demonstrate a significant impact on the field as a whole, noting that publications are more appropriately considered under a separate criterion.
