Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as a professional holding an advanced degree. The AAO found the educational evaluation submitted to establish a U.S. master's degree equivalency was insufficient, containing templated language and lacking a specific analysis of the petitioner's courses and credit hours.
