EB-2 Dismissed — Computer Science (2005): the beneficiary's three-year bachelor's degree from India

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary's three-year bachelor's degree from India was not considered the foreign equivalent of a U.S. baccalaureate degree. For an advanced degree equivalency (bachelor's plus five years of experience), the regulations require the beneficiary to first hold a single degree that is the foreign equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's degree; a combination of a shorter degree and work experience cannot be used to meet this initial requirement.
