Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the AAO found the petitioner did not qualify for the underlying EB-2 classification, overturning the director's finding that she was a member of the professions holding an advanced degree. The AAO determined she lacked an advanced degree or the required five years of post-baccalaureate experience. Additionally, the AAO concluded that the petitioner failed to demonstrate that her proposed endeavor met the first prong of the Dhanasar framework, lacking sufficient evidence of substantial merit and national importance.
