Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to establish eligibility for a national interest waiver. The AAO first withdrew the Director's finding that the petitioner qualified as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, noting that the record did not contain copies of his claimed Master's or Ph.D. degrees. Without establishing eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification, the petitioner could not be granted a national interest waiver.
