Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the evidentiary criteria. The AAO found that the submitted reference letters and conference presentations did not demonstrate contributions of major significance to the field as a whole, but rather only to his specific projects. Additionally, the petitioner did not provide evidence that his Master's thesis was published in a qualifying scholarly or major trade publication.
