Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under the required three evidentiary criteria. The AAO found the evidence for 'original scientific contributions of major significance' was insufficient, noting that authorship of scholarly articles is a separate criterion and does not on its own prove major contributions. The AAO also declined to consider evidence, such as citation records, that post-dated the petition's filing date.
