Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying classification as an individual of exceptional ability. The Director determined the Petitioner only met two of the minimum three required evidentiary criteria, and the Petitioner did not challenge the findings on the other criteria on appeal. As the Petitioner did not demonstrate eligibility for the EB-2 classification, the AAO did not need to analyze the merits of the national interest waiver.
