Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed primarily because the petitioner failed to establish categorical eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification. The petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence to prove their foreign bachelor's degree was equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree, which is a prerequisite for being considered an advanced degree professional. The AAO also noted the initial proposed endeavor was essentially a job search, which is insufficient for a national interest waiver.
