Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification. The AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner did not provide evidence of holding a U.S. doctorate or a foreign equivalent degree. Furthermore, while the petitioner met at least three criteria for exceptional ability, the AAO affirmed the Director's final merits determination that the evidence did not show a degree of expertise significantly above that ordinarily encountered in the field.
