dismissed EB-2 Case: Software Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary failed to establish possession of a U.S. bachelor's degree or its foreign equivalent, which was a minimum requirement for the position. The AAO determined that the beneficiary's three-year foreign degree, even when combined with diplomas and credential evaluations, did not equate to a U.S. baccalaureate degree. Additionally, new evidence of an MBA submitted on appeal was not considered as it was not presented earlier.
