Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to first establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification. The AAO determined the petitioner did not prove they held the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's degree, a prerequisite for being considered an advanced degree professional. Separately, the AAO also found the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of their proposed endeavor, as it was not sufficiently defined and lacked specific evidence of its potential impact on the U.S. agribusiness industry.
