dismissed EB-2 Case: Finance
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary failed to demonstrate possession of a U.S. baccalaureate degree or a foreign equivalent, which was the minimum level of education required by the labor certification. The beneficiary's membership in the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, obtained via examinations, was not considered equivalent to a four-year degree. The AAO found the credential evaluations unpersuasive and noted the record lacked evidence of a completed bachelor's degree.
