Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the underlying eligibility for the EB-2 visa classification. The Director initially denied the petition because the petitioner did not qualify as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree and had not established that a national interest waiver was warranted. The petitioner failed to provide evidence of an advanced degree and later submitted a form indicating his highest level of education was high school.
