Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as an individual of exceptional ability. The AAO concluded that the petitioner failed to meet the initial evidentiary requirements, specifically not meeting at least three of the six regulatory criteria, which is a prerequisite for being considered for a national interest waiver.
