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 AAO conducted a de novo review and determined that the petitioner met only one of the required evidentiary criteria, whereas a minimum of three is required. The evidence submitted for ten years of experience, licensure/certification, and high salary was found to be insufficient.
