Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as an individual of exceptional ability or for a national interest waiver. The Director found that while the petitioner met the criteria for a degree and ten years of experience, the evidence did not show recognition for significant contributions to the field of nonprofit management. Furthermore, the petitioner was found ineligible for a national interest waiver under the Dhanasar framework.
