dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Accounting
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that she qualified as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree. The petitioner claimed the equivalent of a master's degree based on a bachelor's degree plus five years of progressive, post-baccalaureate experience. However, the evidence indicated her employment as a public accountant began before she formally received her baccalaureate-equivalent degree, which suggested that the position did not require a degree for entry.
