Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification. The AAO found that the petitioner did not qualify as an advanced degree professional because his bachelor's degree in physical education was unrelated to his field of restaurant management. The petitioner was considered to have waived the appeal on this issue by not addressing the Director's reasoning.
