dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Graphic Design
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification, either as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree or as an alien of exceptional ability. The petitioner did not prove that her three-year certificate was equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree, a necessary component for the advanced degree claim, and the submitted credential evaluations were deemed unpersuasive.
