Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification, as the AAO determined she had not proven her foreign degree was equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree. Furthermore, the AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner did not demonstrate that her proposed endeavor of providing ADHD-related training had the requisite 'national importance' because its prospective impact was not shown to be sufficiently broad.
