Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification. The AAO determined the petitioner did not demonstrate possession of an advanced degree or its equivalent, as their vocational training and work experience could not substitute for a bachelor's degree. Furthermore, the petitioner did not meet the evidentiary requirements to be classified as an individual of exceptional ability.
