Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification. The petitioner's foreign academic credentials were not found to be equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree, which is a prerequisite for qualifying as an advanced degree professional. The attempt to combine lesser degrees with work experience to meet this requirement was rejected as it does not comply with regulations.
