EB-2 Dismissed — Information Technology (2013): the beneficiary did not possess the required educational

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary did not possess the required educational qualifications. The core issue was that for an advanced degree equivalency (a bachelor's degree plus five years of experience), the beneficiary must first hold a single foreign degree that is the equivalent of a U.S. four-year baccalaureate degree. The regulations and legislative history do not permit substituting a combination of lesser degrees or work experience to meet this initial bachelor's degree requirement.
