original contributions of major significance in the field
AAO 为什么未被说服
The reference/expert letters primarily contained bare assertions and conclusory statements of acclaim without specific examples of how the petitioner's contributions rose to major significance.

The expert letters were largely conclusory and from the petitioner's own colleagues and supervisors, without specific examples of independent widespread application. Citation counts were minimal to moderate (none exceeding 33 independent citations), and letters described potential future impact rather than established major significance at the time of filing.…

Publications and presentations alone are insufficient absent evidence of major significance.
All submitted items were academic or student-level awards from the petitioner's alma maters, not nationally or internationally recognized prizes for excellence in the field of endeavor.
