Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree. The AAO found significant inconsistencies and unresolved discrepancies in the documentation of her work experience, which was required to prove that her foreign bachelor's degree plus five years of experience was equivalent to a U.S. master's degree. The conflicting information regarding employment dates and hours worked undermined the credibility of the evidence.
