This is an AAO appeal decision — a case denied once and appealed. It shows how the framework is applied; it is not the filing population.

The Petitioner, an administrative services and facilities manager, sought EB-2 classification as an advanced degree professional based on a bachelor's degree in a foreign language plus five years of experience, and requested a national interest waiver of the job offer requirement.

EB-2 threshold — not met

Petitioner's bachelor's degree was in foreign language, unrelated to the proposed occupation, and her resume did not establish five years of progressive experience related to the specialty; AAO found she did not first establish the requisite degree, so the experience claim was moot.

Notable

AAO deemed the exceptional-ability classification issue abandoned because Petitioner did not contest it on appeal, citing Matter of R-A-M- and related waiver doctrine. AAO adopted and affirmed the Director's decision per Matter of Burbano and declined to reach the Dhanasar national-interest-waiver prongs because the threshold EB-2 failure was dispositive.
