Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not qualify as an advanced degree professional, as his five years of work experience were not post-baccalaureate. Furthermore, he failed to establish exceptional ability by meeting at least three of the required criteria, as his evidence for his degree, salary, and professional memberships was deemed insufficient to prove expertise significantly above the ordinary.
