Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary met the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria. The AAO found the evidence for 'original contributions of major significance' was insufficient to prove a major impact on the field. Furthermore, a claim for the 'judging' criterion was not considered as it was newly raised on appeal.
