Our summary
Petitioner sought NIW as individual of exceptional ability. AAO dismissed appeal because petitioner satisfied only two of six exceptional ability evidentiary criteria (advanced degree and work experience); petitioner did not challenge remaining criteria or provide final merits evidence, so NIW analysis was not reached.
