dismissed EB-2 Case: Accounting
Decision Summary
The motions to reopen and reconsider were granted, but the previous AAO decision was affirmed and the petition remains denied. The AAO determined that the beneficiary's Master's degree from an unaccredited U.S. university did not qualify as an 'advanced degree' under the regulations. Additionally, the petitioner failed to demonstrate its ability to pay the proffered wage, which served as an independent basis for denial.
Criteria Discussed
Advanced Degree Degree Accreditation Ability To Pay Proffered Wage
