Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as an advanced degree professional, as the evidence of his work experience was insufficient. Furthermore, the AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner did not establish the national importance of his proposed endeavor, finding its impact would be too limited.
