original contributions of major significance in the field
AAO 为什么未被说服
The AAO found that the recommendation letters lacked specific examples of contributions at the level of major significance, and the citation evidence showed that others had built upon the Petitioner's work but did not demonstrate a major impact on the overall field. Aggregate citation statistics and publication counts do not establish that any specific work rose to the level of major significance.

The AAO found that the Petitioner's prior research was focused on different public health topics (CME in Pakistan, polio, weight misperception, thyroidectomy, infectious disease among garbage scavengers) and did not position him to advance his proposed oncology research. The limited time available for research (10%) and the absence of evidence of success or progress in cancer research were also fatal to this prong.
