Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the EB-2 classification as an individual of exceptional ability. The AAO disagreed with the Director's initial finding, concluding that the petitioner did not meet the criteria for a license to practice a profession or membership in professional associations. Ultimately, the AAO determined that the totality of the evidence did not show the petitioner possessed a degree of expertise significantly above that ordinarily encountered in his field.
