Decision summary: AAO decision OCT092024_01B2203: Appeal dismissed (p. 7). Two Energy Saving articles and abok.ru did not establish qualifying major-media standing; business contracts and letters showed project involvement but not field-wide major-significance contributions; leading role was shown but distinguished company reputation was not corroborated. Salary evidence did not establish remuneration relative to comparable field peers (pp. 2–6).
Source reviewed: This page summarizes the specific AAO source and posture recorded in the completed source-review tracker. It does not turn a nonprecedent decision into a general rule.
Scope classification from review: in_scope_EB1A_source_reviewed. This is a source-review label, not a legal conclusion.
