Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the foundational eligibility for the EB-2 classification. The AAO found that she did not demonstrate possession of a U.S. advanced degree or its equivalent, which requires a single foreign degree equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree plus five years of progressive post-baccalaureate experience. Since she did not meet the basic requirements for the visa category, the AAO did not analyze the national interest waiver criteria.
