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 AAO disagreed with the Director's findings, concluding that the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence for having ten years of full-time experience or for membership in qualifying professional associations. As the petitioner did not meet the minimum number of criteria for exceptional ability, they were ineligible for the classification and therefore the national interest waiver.
