Decision Summary
The Director initially denied the petition for failing to establish that the proposed endeavor had national importance, that the petitioner was well-positioned to advance it, or that a waiver was in the national interest. The AAO dismissed the appeal, agreeing with the Director's findings and adding that the petitioner also failed to establish the underlying eligibility for the EB-2 classification because the provided foreign credential evaluation was insufficient to prove the U.S. equivalency of her degree.
