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. Although the Service Center Director initially found the petitioner met four criteria, the AAO reviewed the evidence and withdrew the favorable findings on three of them (academic record, ten years of experience, membership), concluding the submitted documentation was insufficient to meet the regulatory standards.
