EB1A NOID - Industry profile. Criteria 4/4 accepted including original contributions, failed on final merits
As the title suggests I received a NOID on 05/16 for my EB1A PP petition. Received courtesy copy via email on 05/18. Petitioned through a lawyer. Sent to NSC but received a response from TSC

Claimed the following 4 criteria
Original contributions
Critical role
Scholarly articles
Judging
All 4 criteria accepted, but failed on final merits stating I haven't proven sustained acclaim and that I'm at the very top of the field. Following were the important points
Peer reviewing journals is a routine service only that any data engineer at the level performs regularly; does not mean top of the field
Scholarly articles do not have widespread professional reliance or significant citations ( I have close to 300 citations as of today - RCR for one of the most cited work is > 8)
Although the beneficiary's original work has proven valuable, the record does not establish that they have risen to the very top small percentage of their field, as they lack independent evidence of widespread, sustained acclaim.
I would appreciate this community's valuable comments on how to tackle this NOID. My 30 day clock starts today.
