Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO determined the petitioner successfully established eligibility. While the Director found the petitioner met the criteria for judging others' work and authoring scholarly articles, the AAO concluded the evidence also satisfied the criterion for original contributions of major significance. The petitioner's work in initiating tuberculosis treatment models (PPM DOTS) in India and a treatment program in East Timor, which were later adopted on a national and international level, was deemed a major contribution to the field.
