Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the Beneficiary's foreign education was not equivalent to the required U.S. advanced degree. The credential evaluations indicated the Beneficiary's bachelor's degree was only equivalent to three years of U.S. undergraduate study, not a full U.S. baccalaureate degree. To qualify as an advanced degree professional, a beneficiary must possess a single foreign degree equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree as a baseline, and combining lesser degrees to meet this requirement is not permissible.
