Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as an individual of exceptional ability. The AAO concurred with the Director that the petitioner met only one of the required three evidentiary criteria, finding that submitted certificates were for training courses rather than professional certification and that the salary evidence did not demonstrate exceptional ability.
