EB-2 Dismissed — Chemistry: the beneficiary did not meet the minimum educational

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.
