Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as an individual of exceptional ability. The AAO reviewed the evidence de novo and concluded that the petitioner did not meet any of the required regulatory criteria, including failing to show that their certificates were from qualifying institutions or that they had ten years of full-time experience. Since the petitioner was found categorically ineligible for the EB-2 classification, the national interest waiver could not be considered.
