claim: The petitioner was a civil engineer and commercial manager; the Director found one criterion met, leading/critical role, and the appeal pressed published material and original contributions. (p. 2); pages: 2
claim: The AAO found published material was not qualifying coverage about the petitioner and original-contribution evidence did not show major significance; comparable-evidence arguments did not cure the shortfall. (pp. 3–5); pages: 3; 4; 5
claim: The AAO found fewer than three criteria and dismissed without reaching final merits. (p. 6); pages: 5; 6
