dismissed EB-2 Case: Information Technology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the job offer on the labor certification stated the petitioner would accept 'any suitable combination of education, training, and/or experience.' The AAO determined this language meant the position did not rigidly require an advanced degree or its equivalent (a bachelor's degree plus five years of progressive experience), thereby failing to meet the minimum regulatory requirements for the EB-2 visa classification.
