dismissed EB-2 Case: Speech Language Pathology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary's foreign education (a three-year bachelor's and two-year master's degree from India) was deemed equivalent to a single U.S. bachelor's degree, not the required master's degree. The labor certification specifically required a master's degree and did not allow for the alternative combination of a bachelor's degree plus five years of experience, thus the beneficiary did not meet the minimum requirements for the position.
