Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to contest the director's finding that she did not qualify for the underlying classification as an alien of exceptional ability. By not addressing this issue on appeal, the petitioner abandoned it. Since qualifying for the underlying classification is a prerequisite for a national interest waiver, the appeal could not be sustained.
