Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to submit the required initial evidence to establish eligibility at the time of filing. Specifically, the petitioner did not provide an official academic record showing a U.S. baccalaureate degree or foreign equivalent, which is a prerequisite for establishing eligibility as either a member of the professions holding an advanced degree (via experience) or as an alien of exceptional ability.
