Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary did not meet the minimum educational requirements for the position. The director found that the beneficiary's foreign education, which included a three-year bachelor's degree, was not equivalent to a U.S. Master's degree. The AAO agreed, emphasizing that the foundation for an advanced degree equivalency is a U.S. baccalaureate degree (or its foreign equivalent), which is generally considered a four-year degree, a standard the beneficiary did not meet.
