Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the underlying eligibility for EB-2 classification as an individual of exceptional ability. In the final merits determination, the AAO found the evidence of the petitioner's flight hours, aircraft certifications, and association memberships was insufficient to prove a degree of expertise significantly above that ordinarily encountered in the field. Because the petitioner did not qualify for the base EB-2 category, the AAO did not address the national interest waiver portion of the appeal.
