Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification. Despite a request for evidence, the petitioner did not provide official transcripts to support the academic equivalency evaluations claiming her foreign degree was equivalent to a U.S. advanced degree. The initial denial also noted a failure to establish the national importance of her endeavor.
