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 significant inconsistencies in the documentation provided to prove five years of progressive work experience, such as conflicting commercial lease contracts for the petitioner's business. Because the petitioner did not meet the underlying EB-2 requirements, the national interest waiver itself was not analyzed.
