dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Nursing
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree. The director found that the occupation of registered nurse does not require a bachelor's degree as a minimum for entry, and the petitioner did not rebut this. Additionally, the petitioner could not claim the equivalent of an advanced degree because she lacked the required five years of progressive post-baccalaureate experience at the time of filing.
