EB-2 Dismissed — Counselor Education (2018): did not establish the overarching requirements for Schedule
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the overarching requirements for Schedule A, Group II designation. While the AAO acknowledged the beneficiary met two evidentiary criteria (judging others' work and scholarly articles), it found the record did not prove that the beneficiary's position requires exceptional ability or that the beneficiary enjoys the necessary widespread acclaim and international recognition.
