Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary met at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The submitted articles were authored by the beneficiary, not about him, failing the 'published materials' criterion. Furthermore, while his work was original, the evidence did not establish that his contributions were of 'major significance' to the field.
