Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the foundational requirement of being an advanced degree professional for the EB-2 classification. The AAO determined that the petitioner's Brazilian dental degree was an undergraduate degree, not equivalent to a U.S. doctorate, which is customarily required for dentists. As the petitioner was ineligible for the underlying EB-2 visa, the AAO did not analyze the national interest waiver criteria.
