Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the foundational eligibility for the EB-2 classification as an advanced degree professional. The AAO found the petitioner did not demonstrate the required five years of progressive, post-baccalaureate experience, noting that some employment was not progressive in nature and that claims of self-employment were not supported by sufficient independent evidence.
