Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum three evidentiary criteria required. The Director had initially credited the petitioner with meeting two criteria (leading or critical role and high salary), but the AAO concluded that the evidence for the third claimed criterion, 'original contributions of major significance,' was insufficient. The petitioner's work was found to be beneficial to his employers and their clients but lacked evidence of a wider impact or influence on the field as a whole.
