Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition, finding the petitioner met only two of the required three criteria. The AAO disagreed with the Director's assessment of the 'original scientific contributions of major significance' criterion, finding that the petitioner provided sufficient evidence of her research's importance through citations and expert testimony. As the petitioner now met the three-criteria threshold, the case was remanded for a final merits determination on whether she has sustained national or international acclaim.
