Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner successfully demonstrated eligibility for a third evidentiary criterion, 'original contributions of major significance,' which the Director had initially denied. On appeal, the petitioner provided new evidence corroborating his extensive citation record, which, when considered with the totality of the evidence, satisfied the AAO that he had made contributions of major significance and demonstrated sustained national acclaim.
