The Denial

The AAO found that the evidence did not demonstrate that the petitioner’s work had substantial impact on the overall field. Despite the testimonials submitted by professors and experts in the field and the petitioner’s record of publications, the small number of citations to the researcher’s work remained a major issue:

We find the total number of citations presented here (three) insufficient to demonstrate that the petitioner’s work has had substantial impact on the overall field. The witness letters show that the petitioner’s work has provided new and useful information to the overall body of knowledge in the field, but this is the goal of all such research. In this case, the statements from witnesses selected by the petitioner, while useful in describing his expertise and the overall importance of his research, fail to demonstrate that his individual research accomplishments are so unusual that he merits the benefit of a national interest waiver.
