EB-2 Dismissed — Information Technology (2010): the beneficiary's qualifications did not meet the

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.
