dismissed EB-2 Case: Software Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's credentials met the requirements of the labor certification. The Director determined that the beneficiary's passage of the Institution of Engineers (India) examinations was not equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree, noting that the Indian government did not recognize it as such until after the beneficiary completed the exams and that credential evaluation resources deemed it 'comparable' rather than 'equivalent.' The petitioner's arguments on appeal did not overcome these findings.
