Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate the underlying eligibility for EB-2 classification as an individual of exceptional ability. Although the Director found the petitioner met three criteria—a degree/certificate, experience, and licensure—the AAO concluded these were basic requirements for the field and did not show expertise significantly above that ordinarily encountered. Other evidence, like employer letters and salary data, was deemed insufficient to establish significance to the field as a whole.
