Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the AAO conducted a de novo review and determined the petitioner only met two of the ten regulatory criteria, failing to meet the minimum threshold of three. While the Service Center Director initially found the petitioner met at least three criteria, the AAO's review concluded otherwise, thus finding the petitioner ineligible for the classification sought.
