Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as a professional holding an advanced degree. The evidence submitted, primarily letters from former employees and peers, was deemed insufficient to demonstrate at least five years of progressive post-baccalaureate experience in her specialty, as the letters were too general and lacked detail differentiating her work as a physical therapist from her role as a Pilates instructor and business owner.
