Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the foundational eligibility for the EB-2 classification as an individual of exceptional ability. The AAO determined that the evidence submitted did not demonstrate that the petitioner commanded a high salary or held membership in a qualifying professional association. Because the petitioner did not prove eligibility for the underlying visa category, the national interest waiver could not be granted.
