Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification. The AAO found that the petitioner's bachelor's degree in accounting was not in the specialty of his proposed endeavor of police investigation, so he did not qualify as an advanced degree professional. Similarly, he did not meet the exceptional ability criteria as his degree did not relate to his area of expertise.
