Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification. He did not demonstrate he was an advanced degree professional because he failed to submit required letters from employers verifying his experience. Additionally, he did not prove exceptional ability as he did not meet at least three of the required evidentiary criteria, with the AAO finding the evidence for membership in professional associations insufficient.
