Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish her qualification for the underlying EB-2 classification as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree. While she had the equivalent of a bachelor's degree in nursing, she failed to demonstrate five years of progressive post-baccalaureate experience in her intended specialty as a nurse practitioner. The evidence submitted showed experience as a nurse, assistant nurse, and technical manager, not in the specialized role she proposed.
