Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner first failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification, as the record did not prove he held the foreign equivalent of a single U.S. bachelor's degree. Furthermore, the petitioner did not demonstrate that his proposed endeavor met the national importance prong or that waiving the job offer requirement would be in the national interest, thus failing the Dhanasar framework for a National Interest Waiver.
