Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as an individual of exceptional ability. The AAO found he only met two of the required three criteria, determining his law degree was not related to his field of martial arts. Furthermore, the AAO concluded that while his proposed endeavor had substantial merit, he did not sufficiently demonstrate its national importance as required by the Dhanasar framework.
