dismissed EB-2 Case: Computer Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the director correctly determined the beneficiary did not possess the foreign equivalent of a U.S. baccalaureate degree. The beneficiary's three-year degree from the University of Madras, even when combined with a diploma from an unaccredited computer education institution, was not found to meet the standard of a four-year U.S. bachelor's degree, which is a prerequisite for the EB-2 advanced degree classification.
Criteria Discussed
Advanced Degree Equivalence U.S. Baccalaureate Degree Equivalence
