Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the AAO agreed with the Director's finding that the petitioner did not establish she is an individual of exceptional ability. While she met three of the regulatory criteria, she failed to prove her degree of expertise was significantly above that ordinarily encountered in her fields. Since establishing exceptional ability is a prerequisite for the waiver, the appeal was denied on this basis alone.
