Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification. The AAO found the petitioner did not qualify as an advanced degree professional, as her foreign degree was in Media Studies, which is unrelated to her proposed endeavor. Additionally, she did not meet the required three out of six criteria to be considered an individual of exceptional ability.
