Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary's qualifications did not meet the regulatory requirements. The AAO found that while the beneficiary's three-year degree combined with a fellowship from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) might be equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree in terms of knowledge, the ICAI fellowship is not a 'degree' from a college or university. Therefore, the beneficiary does not possess a 'foreign equivalent degree' to a U.S. baccalaureate, which is a prerequisite for this visa classification.
