EB-2 Dismissed — Market Research (2013): the beneficiary's Master of Business Administration degree
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary's Master of Business Administration degree was from an institution not accredited by an agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. The AAO concluded that approval from a state agency (California's BPPE) or authorization to enroll foreign students does not meet the requirement for accreditation. Therefore, the beneficiary did not qualify for classification as an advanced degree professional.
