Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification, as their foreign degree was not proven to be equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree. Additionally, the petitioner did not demonstrate that their proposed endeavor was of national importance under the Dhanasar framework, as the impact was not shown to extend beyond their immediate clients.
