Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO determined the Petitioner met the 'original contributions of major significance' criterion, in addition to the two criteria previously accepted by the Director. The AAO was persuaded by evidence of the Petitioner's crucial role as a statistician on a widely cited and influential osteoporosis study, which demonstrated he had risen to the top of his field.
