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 found that the petitioner did not satisfy at least three of the six required evidentiary criteria. Specifically, the petitioner's training certificates from an equipment manufacturer were not considered awards from an 'institution of learning' as required by the regulations.
