Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as an advanced degree professional. The petitioner's evidence was insufficient to prove that her Russian diploma was equivalent to a U.S. master's degree, as the translation did not identify it as a 'Diplom spetsialista' which might otherwise qualify.
