Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO determined that the petitioner met the 'contributions of major significance' criterion, in addition to the two criteria (judging and scholarly articles) previously acknowledged by the Director. The AAO found that evidence of national awards, detailed reference letters, and a notable citation record collectively demonstrated the petitioner's significant influence in his field, thus satisfying the required minimum of three criteria.
