Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 visa classification, as he did not submit the required official academic records to prove his advanced degree. Additionally, while the AAO found his proposed endeavor had substantial merit and national importance, it concluded he did not demonstrate that he was well-positioned to advance that endeavor, thereby failing the second prong of the National Interest Waiver test.
