Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition at the final merits stage, despite the petitioner meeting three evidentiary criteria. The AAO sustained the appeal, concluding that the totality of the evidence, including numerous letters from prominent researchers, demonstrated that the petitioner's work on 'culturomics' was an original contribution of major significance that had earned him sustained acclaim and placed him at the top of his field.
