Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility under the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria. Although the AAO found the petitioner did meet the 'published materials' criterion, it determined the evidence, including recommendation letters, was insufficient to demonstrate 'original contributions of major significance' as the letters praised his skills but did not show how his work significantly impacted the field.
