dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Choreography
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the AAO found the petitioner did not qualify for the underlying EB-2 classification. The AAO determined that choreography is not a "profession" as a baccalaureate degree is not the minimum requirement for entry into the occupation. Furthermore, it found the petitioner had not established possession of an advanced degree equivalent or exceptional ability, thus making him ineligible for a national interest waiver.
Criteria Discussed
Advanced Degree Member Of The Professions Exceptional Ability National Interest Waiver
