Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition by focusing too narrowly on the petitioner's low citation count as evidence of influence. The AAO sustained the appeal, finding that the Director erred by giving insufficient weight to other evidence, such as the petitioner's recruitment by a company and the application of his prior research, which demonstrated the required degree of influence on the field.
