Logistics management consultant sought EB-2 exceptional ability and NIW. AAO affirmed that petitioner failed to satisfy required exceptional ability criteria: academic record not related to field, insufficient salary evidence, only 8 years 8 months experience not 10 years required, and no professional license. Ineligible for underlying classification; NIW prongs not reached.

A self-petitioner sought EB-1A extraordinary ability classification, and the service center denied the petition. The appeal was dismissed on procedural grounds because the notice of appeal carried a script-font signature rather than the petitioner's personal signature, so the substantive criteria were never examined.

A lawyer sought EB-1A extraordinary ability classification. The petitioner claimed four criteria: judging, original contributions, scholarly articles, and leading/critical role. The AAO found judging and contributions not met and declined to address the other two, dismissing for failure to satisfy the threshold of three criteria.

A business analyst sought EB-2 NIW to establish an AI cybersecurity business as CEO and software developer. The AAO dismissed the appeal, finding the proposed endeavor has substantial merit but lacks demonstrated national importance; alignment with government cybersecurity priorities does not establish the specific endeavor's national significance.
