Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the initial evidentiary requirements for classification as an individual of exceptional ability. The AAO disagreed with the Director's initial finding, concluding the petitioner only met one of the required three criteria. Specifically, the petitioner did not establish the required ten years of experience in her proposed endeavor, a valid professional license, evidence of a high salary, or qualifying membership in a professional association.
