Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 visa classification. The AAO determined that the petitioner did not qualify as an advanced degree professional because skydiving instruction does not require a bachelor's degree. The petitioner also failed to qualify as an individual of exceptional ability, meeting only one of the required evidentiary criteria.
