Decision Summary

The motion to reconsider was dismissed primarily on a procedural basis. The petitioner, in her initial appeal, failed to contest the Director's finding that she did not qualify for the underlying EB-2 classification as a professional with an advanced degree. By failing to address this key issue, she was deemed to have waived it, which was a dispositive reason for denial regardless of her eligibility for the national interest waiver.
