Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as an advanced degree professional. The Director concluded, based on credential evaluation resources, that the petitioner's 'Technologist' degree from Brazil was not the foreign equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's degree, a prerequisite for qualifying for an advanced degree through experience. The petitioner subsequently failed to establish eligibility based on exceptional ability.
