Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility as an individual of exceptional ability for the underlying EB-2 visa. While the Director acknowledged she met the academic degree criterion, the AAO found she did not provide sufficient evidence that her foreign degree constituted a license to practice or that her professional memberships met the required standard, thus failing to meet the minimum three out of six criteria.
