Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the foundational eligibility for the EB-2 classification. The AAO concluded that the petitioner did not demonstrate that his foreign degree was equivalent to a four-year U.S. bachelor's degree, which is a prerequisite to qualifying as an advanced degree professional. Since the petitioner did not meet this underlying requirement, his eligibility for the national interest waiver was not further considered.
