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. The AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner only met two out of six evidentiary criteria (10 years of experience and a professional license), failing to prove others like having a qualifying academic award or commanding a high salary. Consequently, the petitioner also did not establish eligibility for a national interest waiver under the Dhanasar framework.
