EB-2 Dismissed — Market Research: the beneficiary's three-year bachelor's degree was not

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary's three-year bachelor's degree was not considered equivalent to a U.S. baccalaureate degree. The AAO affirmed the director's finding that a U.S. bachelor's degree generally requires four years of study, and without this foundational degree or a foreign equivalent, the beneficiary could not qualify for the advanced degree professional category, even with additional diplomas or work experience.
