Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility as an individual of exceptional ability under the EB-2 classification. The AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner only met the academic record criterion, finding the evidence of academic scholarships was insufficient to meet the high salary/remuneration criterion and that the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence of recognition for significant contributions.
