Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification. The petitioner could not prove he possessed an advanced degree, as his foreign Master of Business Administration was found to be a professional certificate ('lato sensu' program) rather than the equivalent of a U.S. master's degree. The petitioner abandoned the alternative claim of exceptional ability on appeal.
