Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition because the letters of support came from close colleagues and did not establish a broader reputation. The appeal was sustained because the petitioner submitted new objective evidence, a citation list showing 122 citations to his work, which successfully demonstrated his influence and justified the waiver in the national interest.
