Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition, finding the petitioner only met two of the required three evidentiary criteria. The AAO found that the Director erred in dismissing the petitioner's evidence for the 'original contributions of major significance' criterion, citing the petitioner's highly-cited articles and detailed expert letters. The case was remanded for a final merits determination, as the petitioner successfully established at least three of the required criteria.
