Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate her eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as an advanced degree professional. The AAO found that the petitioner's foreign educational credentials and work experience did not meet the requirements, specifically questioning the equivalency of her teaching certificate to a U.S. master's degree. Since she did not qualify for the base EB-2 category, she was ineligible for the national interest waiver.
