Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 visa classification. The AAO found that the petitioner's foreign education was not equivalent to a U.S. advanced degree and that she did not provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate five years of progressive post-baccalaureate experience. As the petitioner did not meet the basic requirements for the EB-2 category, the AAO did not proceed to analyze the national interest waiver criteria.
