Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the underlying eligibility for the EB-2 classification as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree. The AAO found the academic equivalency evaluation for the petitioner's Ukrainian degrees to be insufficient and lacking in credibility, questioning the analysis of course content and the conversion of academic hours to U.S. credits.
