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 withdrew the Director's finding that the petitioner met the 'membership in a professional association' criterion, concluding that the Professional Photographers of America (PPA) did not qualify. As the petitioner no longer met the minimum of three required criteria, she was found ineligible for the classification.
