Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed. Although the Director initially found the petitioner qualified for the underlying EB-2 classification, the AAO disagreed upon de novo review. The AAO concluded that the petitioner's foreign degree evaluation was insufficient to establish its U.S. equivalency, thereby failing to meet the foundational requirement for the advanced degree professional category.
