Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility as an individual of exceptional ability, which is a prerequisite for a national interest waiver. The AAO found that the petitioner only met one of the six regulatory criteria (possessing a degree), falling short of the required three. The evidence submitted for other criteria, such as high salary, professional memberships, and significant contributions, was deemed insufficient to demonstrate a degree of expertise significantly above that ordinarily encountered.
