Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary's three-year foreign bachelor's degree was deemed not equivalent to a U.S. baccalaureate degree, which is a prerequisite for the advanced degree category. The AAO determined that a U.S. baccalaureate degree generally requires four years of education, and the beneficiary's combination of a three-year degree and post-graduate diplomas did not satisfy this foundational requirement.
