Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that he qualifies as an alien of exceptional ability. The director found that the petitioner's bachelor's degree was merely a minimum requirement for his profession, not evidence of expertise 'significantly above that ordinarily encountered.' The petitioner also failed to provide sufficient evidence to meet other regulatory criteria, such as letters from employers documenting ten years of experience.
