Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to submit required initial evidence, specifically a completed labor certification, even after being notified of this deficiency in a Request for Evidence (RFE). The AAO also affirmed the Director's finding that the petitioner did not establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as either an advanced degree professional or an individual of exceptional ability.
