Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree. The petitioner did not prove that his education and 33 years of experience were equivalent to a U.S. advanced degree. Because the petitioner did not qualify for the visa category itself, the request for a national interest waiver was also denied.
