Decision Date
2024-06-11
This case is from a USCIS Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) appeal decision. Appeal cases represent a subset of petitions and may not reflect typical outcomes.

Proposed Endeavor

The petitioner is an entrepreneur whose work involves computer-aided design (CAD) interests. The specific details of the research or methodologies were not elaborated upon in the appellate decision as the case was dismissed on threshold eligibility grounds.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as an individual of exceptional ability. The petitioner did not challenge the Director's final merits determination regarding expertise significantly above that ordinarily encountered in the field, rendering the NIW claim moot.
