sustained EB-2 Case: Software Engineering
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.
