Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the foundational requirement for the EB-2 classification, which is possession of an advanced degree or its equivalent. The submitted credential evaluations were found insufficient to demonstrate that the petitioner's combination of foreign education and work experience met the standard of a U.S. master's degree or a U.S. bachelor's degree followed by five years of progressive experience.
