Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as an individual of exceptional ability, meeting only two of the required three criteria. The AAO specifically found that the petitioner's memberships did not qualify as being in 'professional associations' under the regulation. Furthermore, the petitioner did not demonstrate that their proposed endeavor had national importance, as claims of broader impact on the IT or financial services industries were unsubstantiated.
