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. Although the director found the petitioner met three preliminary evidentiary criteria, the AAO affirmed the decision that the evidence in its totality did not demonstrate a degree of expertise significantly above that ordinarily encountered in the aviation industry. The AAO did not proceed to analyze the national interest waiver requirements as the underlying classification was not met.
