Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that she held the foreign equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's degree, as the provided credential evaluation was found unpersuasive. Furthermore, the AAO determined that the field of physical therapy customarily requires a doctoral degree in the U.S., which the petitioner did not possess.
