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 submitted employment letters were deficient and did not prove the required five years of progressive post-baccalaureate experience, as they lacked specific details such as dates of employment, hours worked, and duties performed. Because the petitioner did not meet this threshold requirement, the AAO did not evaluate the merits of the national interest waiver request.
