Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as an advanced degree professional, with the AAO questioning the equivalency and authenticity of her foreign degree. Additionally, the petitioner did not demonstrate that her proposed endeavor had national importance, as the projected job creation and revenue from her human resources consulting business were not considered significant enough to have a broader economic impact.
