dismissed EB-2 Case: Education
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the job requirements on the certified labor certification (ETA Form 9089) did not meet the standards for the EB-2 classification. The position only required a bachelor's degree, which is insufficient for the 'advanced degree professional' path, and the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the job itself required an individual of 'exceptional ability' by meeting the necessary regulatory criteria.
Criteria Discussed
