Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification. The AAO found that the petitioner did not prove their foreign degree was equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree, which is required to qualify as an advanced degree professional. The petitioner waived the alternative argument of qualifying as an individual of exceptional ability by not addressing it in the appeal.
