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 Director initially found the petitioner met none of the required criteria. While the AAO determined the petitioner did satisfy one criterion (academic record), they ultimately failed to meet the minimum requirement of three criteria to qualify.
