Decision Summary
The AAO found that the Director erred in determining the petitioner met the basic EB-2 eligibility requirement as an advanced degree professional. The evidence submitted did not establish that the petitioner's five years of work experience were 'progressive.' Since eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification is a prerequisite for a national interest waiver, the matter was remanded for the Director to re-evaluate this threshold issue.
