Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as an advanced degree professional, as his foreign degree was not found to be equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree. Additionally, while the proposed endeavor in IT services was found to have substantial merit, the petitioner did not demonstrate that it was of national importance, lacking evidence of broader implications beyond his own business.
