Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the underlying eligibility for EB-2 classification as an individual of exceptional ability. Although the petitioner met three regulatory criteria, the AAO's final merits determination found the evidence did not prove a degree of expertise significantly above that ordinarily encountered in the field, as the qualifications presented were common for helicopter pilots.
