Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the AAO, upon de novo review, withdrew the Director's prior finding that the petitioner qualified for the underlying EB-2 classification as an advanced degree professional. The AAO determined that the petitioner's foreign credential evaluation was insufficient and that the evidence did not establish the required five years of progressive post-baccalaureate experience.
