Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the original petition was correctly denied, as an individual cannot self-petition for the Outstanding Professor or Researcher classification. The petitioner failed to identify any specific error in the director's decision and instead improperly attempted to amend the petition to a different category (EB-2 NIW) on appeal.
