dismissed EB-2 Case: Web Development
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possessed the required five years of post-baccalaureate experience as of the priority date. The Director determined the beneficiary's experience began after his diploma was issued in 2012, while the petitioner argued it should count from 1995 when exams were passed. The AAO found the evidence submitted, which lacked a provisional certificate, was insufficient to prove the degree was fully earned and approved by the university in 1995.
