Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to pass the final merits determination for exceptional ability. Although the Director found the petitioner met four of the six evidentiary criteria, the AAO determined that the evidence in totality did not establish a degree of expertise significantly above that ordinarily encountered in the field of law enforcement and intelligence.
