Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 visa classification at the time of filing. The petitioner did not possess an advanced degree and admitted to not having the required five years of progressive, post-baccalaureate experience when the petition was filed. The AAO rejected the argument for an exception, affirming that all eligibility requirements must be met on the filing date.
