Decision Summary
The motion to reopen was denied because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification. The petitioner did not provide a required academic credential evaluation to prove her foreign degree was equivalent to a U.S. advanced degree, and she failed to meet the minimum of three criteria for 'exceptional ability'. Because the petitioner did not qualify for the base immigrant classification, the AAO did not need to consider her eligibility for a national interest waiver.
