Our summary
An online education entrepreneur sought EB-2 exceptional ability classification and national interest waiver. The AAO found the petitioner met only one of six exceptional ability criteria and therefore was ineligible for the underlying EB-2 classification. NIW analysis was declined as the petitioner was ineligible for EB-2. Appeal dismissed.
