Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the threshold eligibility for the EB-2 classification as an individual of exceptional ability. While the petitioner met the minimum evidentiary requirements, the AAO agreed with the Director that the evidence in its totality did not demonstrate a degree of expertise significantly above that ordinarily encountered in the field. As the underlying classification was not met, the analysis for the national interest waiver was deemed unnecessary.
