Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 visa classification. The petitioner did not qualify as an advanced degree professional because their foreign academic evaluation improperly combined work experience with education, rather than demonstrating a single foreign degree equivalent to a U.S. baccalaureate degree. Failing to meet the basic EB-2 classification requirements precluded consideration for the national interest waiver.
