Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish her eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification, as the AAO found she did not provide sufficient evidence of having the required five years of progressive post-baccalaureate experience to equate to an advanced degree. Furthermore, while her endeavor was found to have substantial merit, she did not establish that it had national importance, thereby failing the first prong of the Dhanasar framework for a national interest waiver.
