Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, due to insufficient evidence of her degree's U.S. equivalency and five years of progressive experience. Furthermore, while her proposed endeavor had substantial merit, the AAO agreed with the Director that it lacked national importance, as she did not demonstrate significant potential for job creation or other substantial positive economic effects.
