Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide the necessary initial evidence to establish 'exceptional ability' under any of the regulatory criteria. Furthermore, the AAO rejected the argument for a national interest waiver, viewing it as an impermissible request for a blanket waiver for an entire occupation rather than an individualized assessment.
