dismissed EB-2 Case: Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary's educational credentials did not meet the requirements for the classification. The AAO determined that the beneficiary's three-year foreign bachelor's degree is not equivalent to a U.S. four-year baccalaureate degree. A U.S. baccalaureate or its foreign equivalent is a prerequisite for qualifying for an advanced degree equivalency through experience, which the beneficiary therefore lacked.
Criteria Discussed
Advanced Degree Requirement Foreign Degree Equivalency
