Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as an individual of exceptional ability, not proving he met at least three regulatory criteria. Additionally, the AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner did not sufficiently demonstrate that his proposed endeavor as a taekwondo athlete and coach has the required 'national importance' under the first prong of the Dhanasar framework.
