EB-2 Dismissed — Information Technology (2024): did not establish the beneficiary met the advanced degree

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the beneficiary met the advanced degree requirement through a bachelor's degree plus five years of progressive, post-baccalaureate experience. The key issue was the date the beneficiary's degree was awarded; the petitioner did not establish the degree was conferred in 2005, as the certificate was dated 2011, thus failing to demonstrate the beneficiary had the required 60 months of experience.
