Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum threshold of three evidentiary criteria. Although the petitioner satisfied the criteria for judging the work of others and for authorship of scholarly articles, they did not successfully demonstrate that their research constituted original contributions of major significance to the field. The AAO found that the provided citation numbers were not sufficient to prove that the petitioner's work had a major impact rising to the level of sustained national or international acclaim.
