dismissed EB-2 Case: Software Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary was found not to meet the educational requirements for the EB-2 category as specified in the labor certification. The director determined, and the AAO agreed, that the beneficiary's three-year bachelor's degree and two-year master's degree from India were not equivalent to a U.S. Master's degree, nor did she possess a single-source foreign degree equivalent to a U.S. baccalaureate degree, which is a prerequisite for qualifying based on a bachelor's degree plus five years of experience.
