Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the beneficiary's eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification, as there was insufficient evidence of an advanced degree or its equivalent (a bachelor's degree plus five years of progressive experience). Furthermore, the AAO agreed with the director that a national interest waiver was not warranted, noting the local nature of the beneficiary's occupation and a lack of evidence of past success. The decision also highlighted other deficiencies, such as the lack of a required professional license and missing application forms.
