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. The AAO withdrew the lower office's finding on the academic record criterion, concluding the petitioner had not sufficiently established that his certificates were from a qualifying institution. Because the petitioner did not meet the base requirements for the classification, the AAO did not need to address whether he merited a national interest waiver.
