Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification. The AAO concluded that while the petitioner met three evidentiary criteria, he did not demonstrate a degree of expertise significantly above that ordinarily encountered in the aviation maintenance industry, as his qualifications were deemed typical for an experienced technician.
