dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Education
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate she qualified as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree. The petitioner's post-baccalaureate experience in clothing manufacturing was not considered to be 'in the specialty' of her proposed endeavor as a curriculum coordinator for English as a second language. Therefore, her experience could not be combined with her bachelor's degree to meet the advanced degree equivalency requirement.
