Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification. The AAO found the petitioner did not demonstrate possession of a U.S. advanced degree or its foreign equivalent, and specifically rejected a credential evaluation that combined education with experience. As the petitioner did not qualify for the EB-2 category, the AAO declined to analyze the merits of the national interest waiver.
