Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree. The AAO found no evidence that the petitioner's foreign degree was equivalent to a U.S. advanced degree and concluded that his occupation was not a profession, as his prior employment began before he earned a bachelor's degree.
