Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that he is an individual of exceptional ability, which is a prerequisite for a national interest waiver. The Director found the petitioner only met one of the six regulatory criteria, and the AAO agreed that the evidence submitted for other criteria, such as ten years of full-time experience, was insufficient.
