Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as an individual of exceptional ability. The AAO found that the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence to meet the minimum three regulatory criteria, specifically withdrawing the director's positive findings on 'ten years of full-time experience' and 'membership in professional associations'. Since the petitioner was ineligible for the base classification, the national interest waiver could not be granted.
