dismissed EB-2 Case: Industrial Engineering / Quantitative Analysis
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the job requirements listed on the ETA Form 9089 did not meet the standard for a professional holding an advanced degree. The form allowed for an alternate qualification of just four years of work experience without a degree, which is below the regulatory definition of a master's degree equivalent (a bachelor's degree plus five years of progressive experience). Since the job offer itself did not consistently require an advanced degree or its equivalent, the petition could not be approved.
