dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Geology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the beneficiary's eligibility for the underlying classification as an individual of exceptional ability. The evidence showed the beneficiary had less than the required ten years of full-time experience at the time of filing the petition. Since the beneficiary did not qualify for the immigrant classification, the AAO did not make a determination on the national interest waiver.
