Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as an advanced degree professional, as his work experience was obtained prior to, not after, receiving his baccalaureate degree. Additionally, the petitioner did not demonstrate that his proposed endeavor had national importance, as he provided insufficient evidence to show his work would have broader implications for his field or generate substantial positive economic effects beyond that of a typical financial analyst.
