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 found that the petitioner did not meet the required minimum of three regulatory criteria, having waived the appeal on several points by failing to address them with specificity. Because the petitioner did not qualify for the base EB-2 classification, the national interest waiver could not be considered.
