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. The Director and the AAO found that the petitioner only met one of the required three evidentiary criteria. Because the petitioner did not qualify for the EB-2 classification, the issue of whether he qualified for a national interest waiver was considered moot.
