Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO determined that the petitioner's evidence satisfied at least three of the regulatory criteria. The decision highlights that the petitioner's service as a peer reviewer for scientific publications met the 'judging the work of others' criterion. Additionally, multiple expert letters confirmed the petitioner made original scientific contributions of major significance to the field of chemistry, such as his discovery of the regioselectivity of metal fragment exchange.
