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 petitioner met at least three of the six regulatory criteria, the AAO concluded that in the final merits determination, the evidence as a whole did not demonstrate that the petitioner possessed a degree of expertise significantly above that ordinarily encountered in the field of aviation mechanics.
