Decision Summary
The Director's decision was withdrawn and the case was remanded. The AAO found that the petitioner, who had already been credited with meeting the criteria for judging others' work and authorship of scholarly articles, also met the criterion for original contributions of major significance based on his work drafting national standards and his patents. Because the petitioner met the minimum threshold of three criteria, the case was sent back for a final merits determination.
