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. The AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner met only two of the six regulatory criteria, falling short of the required minimum of three. Specifically, the petitioner did not establish that their jiu-jitsu certifications constituted a license or certification for a profession or occupation.
