Decision Summary
The motions were dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish her eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as an advanced degree professional.

Furthermore, she failed to demonstrate that her specific endeavor was of national importance, as the evidence submitted was too general and not focused on the broader impact of her work.
