dismissed EB-2 Case: Software Development
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary did not possess the minimum educational qualifications required by the labor certification. The AAO affirmed that for an advanced degree equivalency (bachelor's plus five years of experience), the beneficiary must first hold a single foreign degree that is equivalent to a U.S. four-year baccalaureate degree, which was not established in this case.
