Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because, irrespective of the procedural confusion between a Schedule A, Group II designation and a National Interest Waiver request, the petitioner first had to establish the beneficiary's eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification. The AAO concluded the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary qualifies as either a member of the professions holding an advanced degree or as an individual of exceptional ability.
