Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the AAO affirmed the Director's finding that the petitioner did not demonstrate a degree of expertise significantly above that ordinarily encountered in her field. Although the Director found the petitioner met three threshold criteria, the AAO concluded that the evidence in its totality, including her academic record and work experience, did not show her expertise was significantly above that of other business consultants.
