Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that her work had a significant impact on her field. The director noted, and the AAO agreed, that the witness letters were all from the petitioner's collaborators or mentors, and she had a minimal citation record, which failed to demonstrate influence beyond her immediate research circles.
