Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not qualify for the underlying EB-2 classification as an advanced degree professional; their foreign credentials were found to be equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree, not a master's degree. The AAO also affirmed the finding that the petitioner failed to establish the national importance of their proposed endeavor, noting that arguments about labor shortages are addressed by the labor certification process that the waiver seeks to bypass.
