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 determined that the petitioner did not provide evidence of a relevant academic degree or sufficient proof of ten years of full-time experience in his occupation. Since the petitioner did not meet the basic requirements for the EB-2 category, the national interest waiver could not be granted.
