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. Upon de novo review, the AAO determined that the petitioner did not meet any of the six regulatory criteria, disagreeing with the Director who had found four were met. Specifically, the petitioner's academic degree was not in a field related to financial analysis, and the evidence for ten years of full-time experience was insufficient.
