Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petition was improperly filed by the beneficiary herself, rather than by a U.S. employer as required for the Outstanding Professor or Researcher classification. The petitioner's attempt to change the classification to a different category on appeal was not permitted. The fundamental requirement that an employer must file the petition was not met.
