Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary is qualified for the specialty occupation. The AAO found that the credentials evaluation improperly combined education and work experience, and the expert opinion letter, while from a qualified source, was not supported by primary evidence like academic transcripts or letters from former employers.
