Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as an individual of exceptional ability, a prerequisite for a national interest waiver. The AAO found the petitioner did not meet at least three of the required evidentiary criteria, concluding that the record did not sufficiently prove ten years of full-time experience due to numerous inconsistencies across employment verification letters, resumes, and official forms.
