Proposed Endeavor

The Petitioner is an information technology professional seeking to work in the United States, though the specific details of the proposed endeavor were not reached in the analysis due to failure to meet the threshold EB-2 classification.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to meet at least three of the six regulatory criteria for exceptional ability under 8 C.F.R. § 204.5(k)(3)(ii).

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE targeted the Petitioner's qualification as an individual of exceptional ability, specifically regarding certification and significant contributions. The Petitioner failed to provide comparable evidence or specific examples of industry-wide impact.
