Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 visa classification as an individual of exceptional ability. The Director found, and the AAO agreed, that the petitioner only met the academic record criterion and did not provide sufficient evidence for at least two other required criteria, such as ten years of experience or a license to practice the profession.
