Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, citing a lack of evidence of heavy citation to the petitioner's work. The AAO sustained the appeal because it found sufficient alternative evidence of the petitioner's influence, particularly a letter from an engineer at the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation who used the petitioner's research, which demonstrated her work's impact on the field.
