Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the AAO determined the petitioner was categorically ineligible for the underlying EB-2 classification. The petitioner failed to sufficiently demonstrate they qualified as either a member of the professions holding an advanced degree or as an individual of exceptional ability, which is a prerequisite for consideration of a national interest waiver.
