Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed primarily because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification. The AAO determined the evidence was insufficient to prove that his foreign degree was equivalent to a U.S. baccalaureate degree, which is a prerequisite for qualifying as an advanced degree professional. Additionally, the AAO noted the petitioner made an impermissible material change to his proposed endeavor in his response to a Request for Evidence.
