Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the AAO found the Director improperly weighed the evidence for the 'original contributions of major significance' criterion. The AAO determined that expert letters, including testimony from NASA, and other evidence sufficiently established the petitioner's contributions, thus meeting the initial three-criteria requirement and necessitating a new decision with a final merits determination.
