Self-petitioner sought EB-1A extraordinary ability classification. Appeal dismissed on procedural grounds: Form I-290B and Form G-28 lacked valid original signatures as required by regulation, and foreign language documents relied on blanket translation certificate that did not identify specific documents.

A chief financial officer seeking EB-1A extraordinary ability classification claimed five criteria. The AAO found she satisfied only the leading critical role criterion but failed to meet membership, published material, and high salary criteria. Without three criteria met, final merits determination was not reached. Appeal dismissed.

Architect sought NIW for EB-2 classification. AAO dismissed the appeal due to invalid electronic signatures on appeal forms (I-290B and G-28) not meeting regulatory requirements for original signatures. Additionally, petitioner failed to contest Director's adverse finding on the dispositive second prong of Dhanasar analysis.

A self-petitioner sought a national interest waiver of the job offer requirement. The service center found he qualified for the underlying classification but denied the waiver. On appeal, the AAO dismissed because the signatures on the appeal form and the representation form appeared electronically copied and not valid original handwritten signatures. The merits were not reached.
