Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the underlying eligibility for the EB-2 classification. The AAO determined that the petitioner's high school diploma and work experience could not be combined to meet the 'advanced degree' requirement, which mandates a single U.S. bachelor's degree or its foreign equivalent. The petitioner also failed to submit evidence to qualify under the alternative 'exceptional ability' standard.
