Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as an advanced degree professional. The AAO determined that the submitted academic evaluation lacked detailed analysis and was insufficient to prove that the petitioner's foreign education was equivalent to a U.S. advanced degree. Since the petitioner did not meet the basic requirements for the EB-2 visa, her eligibility for a national interest waiver was not considered.
