Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 visa classification as an individual of exceptional ability. The petitioner only satisfied one of the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria and waived any argument regarding the other criteria on appeal. Therefore, the AAO did not need to evaluate the merits of the national interest waiver.
