Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification. The AAO determined the petitioner did not qualify as an advanced degree professional, as their foreign education was only equivalent to a U.S. associate's degree, not the required bachelor's degree. While the AAO reviewed the exceptional ability criteria, the ultimate conclusion was a dismissal of the appeal.
