Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner filed for an EB-2 classification, which requires the job to necessitate an advanced degree or its equivalent. However, the associated labor certification (Form ETA 9089) only required a bachelor's degree and no experience. The petitioner's attempt to amend the petition to a different category on appeal was deemed an impermissible material change to a deficient petition.
