Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the AAO determined the petitioner did not qualify for the underlying EB-2 classification as an individual of exceptional ability. The submitted letters failed to establish the required ten years of full-time experience, as they did not specify the nature of the employment. Additionally, the petitioner's memberships in professional associations were deemed insufficient because the organizations were not exclusive to the physical therapist profession.
