Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification, either as an individual of exceptional ability or as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree. The Director found the petitioner met only two of the required three evidentiary criteria for exceptional ability, and the petitioner did not successfully challenge this finding on appeal.
