Decision Date
2023-05-31
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 seeks to work as a motorcycle customizer in the United States. The record does not provide specific details on a research area or methodology beyond the general practice of custom motorcycle specialization.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish eligibility for EB-2 classification as an individual of exceptional ability. He failed to provide an official academic record of a completed degree, his evidence of high salary ($5,000-$8,000 monthly) occurred after the filing date, and his support letters did not demonstrate significant contributions to the industry as a whole.
