Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as an advanced degree professional. The AAO found she did not prove her foreign degree in biology was equivalent to a U.S. master's degree or related to her proposed home health care field. She also failed to demonstrate the alternative requirement of a bachelor's degree plus five years of progressive experience.
