dismissed EB-2 Case: Software Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered position of software engineer requires an advanced degree professional, which is defined as holding a master's degree or a bachelor's degree plus five years of progressive experience. The director's initial denial, upheld by the AAO, found that neither the job requirements nor the beneficiary's qualifications met this standard for the EB-2 classification.
Criteria Discussed
