dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Computer Engineering
Decision Summary
The decision affirms the director's denial because the petitioner failed to establish the foundational eligibility for the EB-2 category. The petitioner did not possess an advanced degree, and could not claim the equivalent through work experience because he lacked the prerequisite bachelor's degree. The petitioner's counsel also confused the regulatory criteria by arguing under standards for the EB-1 extraordinary ability classification rather than the applicable EB-2 exceptional ability standards.
