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 determined the petitioner only satisfied two of the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria, having provided sufficient evidence for a degree and a license, but not for ten years of experience or membership in a professional association. Because the petitioner did not qualify for the underlying visa category, the national interest waiver could not be granted.
