Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the AAO conducted a de novo review and found the petitioner had not established the beneficiary's underlying eligibility as an individual of exceptional ability. The AAO concluded the evidence for the beneficiary's academic degrees was insufficient due to unclear details and non-compliant translations, failing to meet the basic requirements for the EB-2 classification before even considering the national interest waiver criteria.
