Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification. The AAO found that the petitioner did not demonstrate five years of progressive experience in his specialty of environmental sustainability to qualify under the 'advanced degree' prong, nor did he satisfy the criteria to be considered an individual of 'exceptional ability' in that field.
