dismissed EB-2 Case: Urban Design
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the beneficiary's eligibility for a Schedule A, Group II labor certification. The AAO found that the evidence submitted for the beneficiary's memberships in professional associations did not demonstrate that these associations require outstanding achievement for admission, as judged by international experts. The petitioner therefore failed to meet the regulatory criteria for the requested classification.
