Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as an individual of exceptional ability. The Director correctly concluded that the petitioner did not meet at least three of the six required regulatory criteria. As the petitioner was found categorically ineligible for the EB-2 visa, the national interest waiver portion of the petition was not considered.
