Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his work constituted original contributions of major significance to the field of trade consulting. The AAO found that the submitted letters of support, primarily from a subordinate and former colleagues, were insufficient to demonstrate that the petitioner's accomplishments had a broad impact on the field as a whole beyond his own company's projects.
