Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the AAO re-evaluated the petitioner's eligibility and concluded he did not qualify for the underlying EB-2 classification as an individual of exceptional ability. Although the Service Center Director initially found the petitioner met several criteria, the AAO disagreed, specifically finding that the evidence did not demonstrate he commanded a salary indicative of exceptional ability or held membership in qualifying professional associations.
