Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the AAO found the petitioner failed to establish eligibility as an individual of exceptional ability. The AAO withdrew the Director's prior finding that the petitioner met the academic degree criterion, concluding that a certificate for a two-day training seminar did not qualify as a degree, diploma, or similar award under the regulation. Since the petitioner no longer met the requisite three criteria for exceptional ability, the appeal was dismissed.
