Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove eligibility for the underlying EB-2 visa classification as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree. The AAO concluded that the petitioner's combination of foreign education, including a two-and-a-half-year technologist degree and a one-year postgraduate course, was not equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree, a prerequisite for the classification. The submitted foreign education evaluation was found to be unreliable and contradicted by other evidence in the record.
