Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed primarily because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification. The AAO concluded that the petitioner's foreign degree was not proven to be equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree, a necessary prerequisite. Furthermore, the decision noted that even if eligible, the petitioner's proposed endeavor of language teaching lacked the required national importance under the Dhanasar framework.
