Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found the petitioner satisfied the regulatory requirements for an alien of extraordinary ability. While the director had initially found the petitioner did not meet the criterion for original contributions of major significance, the AAO disagreed. The AAO concluded that the petitioner's research, which garnered attention from international organizations like WHO/PAHO and was used by the Canadian government, did constitute contributions of major significance, thus meeting at least three criteria for this classification.
