Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria. While USCIS acknowledged that the petitioner met the criteria for judging others' work and for scholarly articles, the AAO determined the evidence did not establish that her original contributions were of major significance to the field, as the submitted letters described only potential impact or localized benefits rather than widespread influence.
