Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 exceptional ability classification. Specifically, the petitioner did not prove at least ten years of full-time experience as an athlete, as the evidence did not define how his participation constituted a full-time occupation. Contradictory information from a prior visa application, where he listed other employment and education, further cast doubt on his claim.
