Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the AAO found that the petitioner had not established eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as a professional holding an advanced degree. The submitted evaluation of the petitioner's Brazilian credentials was found to be inconsistent with reliable sources and insufficient to prove the equivalency of a U.S. Master's or even a Bachelor's degree. The case was sent back for further review of this fundamental eligibility requirement before the national interest waiver itself could be considered.
