Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility as either an advanced degree professional or an alien of exceptional ability. The AAO found the petitioner did not provide sufficient documentary evidence to prove she had a U.S. baccalaureate degree followed by five years of progressive experience. The AAO also upheld the director's finding that the petitioner had not established that a waiver of the job offer requirement would be in the national interest.
