Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed primarily because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification. The AAO determined that the petitioner's occupation as an exercise trainer does not require a minimum of a bachelor's degree to be considered a profession, and her foreign credentials were not shown to be equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree. The AAO also concurred with the Director's findings that the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of her endeavor and that waiving the job offer requirement would benefit the United States on balance.
