Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification. The petitioner did not provide a necessary academic credentials evaluation to establish the U.S. equivalency of her foreign degrees, nor did she demonstrate the required five years of progressive post-baccalaureate experience. The AAO also affirmed the Director's finding that the petitioner did not meet the minimum three criteria to qualify as an individual of exceptional ability.
