Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 visa classification. The AAO withdrew the Director's finding that she qualified as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree, concluding her occupation as a taekwondo instructor does not require a bachelor's degree and she failed to prove five years of full-time post-baccalaureate experience. The AAO also found she did not qualify as an individual of exceptional ability.
