Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, as his work experience letters did not demonstrate five years of progressive experience. Additionally, the petitioner did not prove his proposed endeavor had the 'national importance' required for a National Interest Waiver, as its prospective impact appeared localized rather than extending to the broader industry or nation.
