Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 visa classification. The AAO determined that the petitioner did not qualify as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, as his high school education combined with work experience did not meet the regulatory requirement of possessing a U.S. baccalaureate degree or a foreign equivalent. Since the petitioner did not establish the foundational EB-2 eligibility, his qualification for a national interest waiver was not fully addressed.
