EB-2 Sustained — Software Engineering (2018): the AAO found the petitioner proved the beneficiary

Decision Summary

The appeal was sustained because the AAO found the petitioner proved the beneficiary qualifies as an individual of exceptional ability under the EB-2 classification. The evidence successfully established that the beneficiary met at least three criteria: possessing over 10 years of experience, commanding a salary indicative of exceptional ability, and holding memberships in professional associations. The director's initial denial was deemed erroneous for having incorrectly evaluated the petition under the EB-3 standard.
