Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary's master's degree was from an unaccredited institution, which did not meet the master's degree requirement specified on the labor certification (ETA Form 9089). An alternative argument for qualification based on a bachelor's degree plus five years of experience was also rejected because the labor certification did not allow for such an alternative.
