dismissed EB-2 Case: Electrical Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary's French educational credentials did not meet the minimum requirement of a U.S. master's degree as specified on the labor certification. The Director, referencing the AACRAO EDGE database, determined that the beneficiary's highest degree, a 'DESS', was equivalent to one year of graduate study and not a full U.S. master's degree.
