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. Upon de novo review, the AAO found the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence for having an academic degree, at least ten years of experience, or a professional license related to his field. Since eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification was not met, the petitioner was also ineligible for the National Interest Waiver.
