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 found the petitioner did not meet at least three of the six regulatory criteria, specifically finding the evidence for membership in professional associations was insufficient. Because the petitioner did not demonstrate the requisite exceptional ability, the request for a national interest waiver could not be granted.
