Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed. Although the AAO found that the petitioner qualified for the underlying EB-2 classification as an advanced degree professional, overturning the Director's initial finding on this point, the overall appeal was ultimately dismissed. This indicates the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the national interest waiver itself under the three-prong Dhanasar framework.
