Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found the petitioner met the required three evidentiary criteria. While the Director had only found that the petitioner met two criteria (judging others' work and authorship of scholarly articles), the AAO determined that the petitioner also provided sufficient evidence of original scientific contributions of major significance. This was supported by expert letters and documentation of numerous independent citations to his published findings.
