Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as an individual of exceptional ability. The petitioner met the criteria for an academic degree and a license but failed to demonstrate membership in qualifying professional associations or recognition for significant contributions to the tourism industry. Because the petitioner did not meet the minimum of three criteria, the AAO found them ineligible for the classification and did not need to address the national interest waiver.
