Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 visa classification as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree. The petitioner did not demonstrate that she possessed a master's degree or its equivalent, as the record did not show she had five years of progressive experience in the specialty after obtaining her bachelor's degree. Since the petitioner did not meet the foundational EB-2 requirements, the appeal was dismissed without a full analysis of the national interest waiver prongs.
