The AAO found that the petitioner's reliance on unsupported expert letters, without objective corroborating evidence such as citation data or documented real-world application of his research, was insufficient.

AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO reaffirmed that minimal pre-filing citations, the conclusory and collaborative nature of reference letters, professional memberships without documented criteria, and government grant funding do not establish influence on the field as a whole.
