Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition, finding the petitioner only met one of the required three regulatory criteria. The AAO sustained the appeal because it found the petitioner had submitted sufficient evidence to meet two additional criteria: judging the work of others and making original contributions of major significance to the field, thus satisfying the minimum requirements for the classification.
