Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification. The AAO found her foreign MBA certificate was not proven to be equivalent to a U.S. master's degree, and she did not sufficiently document five years of progressive post-baccalaureate experience. Additionally, the AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner did not establish the national importance of her proposed endeavor, a key requirement for the national interest waiver.
