Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility as an alien of exceptional ability. The AAO found that the petitioner's short-term training certificates were not equivalent to academic degrees and did not demonstrate expertise significantly above the ordinary. The petitioner also did not provide sufficient evidence to meet the criterion for ten years of experience in the specific occupation of an aviation safety officer.
