dismissed EB-2 Case: Information Technology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Beneficiary's foreign education (a three-year bachelor's degree and a two-year master's degree from India) was determined to be equivalent to only a single U.S. bachelor's degree, not an advanced degree. Since the Beneficiary only obtained this U.S. bachelor's equivalent degree shortly before the petition's priority date, he could not possess the five years of post-baccalaureate experience required to qualify under the alternative EB-2 criteria.
