Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification. The petitioner did not demonstrate possession of an advanced degree or its equivalent, as her bachelor's degree was only awarded three months before filing, meaning her work experience did not constitute five years of progressive, post-baccalaureate experience. The petitioner also waived the appeal on the issue of exceptional ability by failing to address it.
