Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the underlying eligibility for the EB-2 classification. The AAO determined that her foreign degrees were not equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree, a prerequisite for qualifying as an advanced degree professional through a combination of education and experience. Because the petitioner did not meet the basic visa classification requirements, her eligibility for a national interest waiver was not considered.
