dismissed EB-2 Case: Audit And Compliance
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary did not meet the minimum educational requirements of the labor certification. The director found that the beneficiary's three-year foreign degree and professional certification were not equivalent to the required U.S. bachelor's degree. The AAO upheld this finding, referencing precedent that a U.S. baccalaureate degree is generally considered a four-year degree.
