Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as an individual of exceptional ability. The AAO determined that the record did not support a finding that the petitioner satisfied at least three of the required evidentiary criteria, specifically finding the evidence for an academic degree and ten years of full-time experience to be insufficient.
