Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director's decision was insufficient for review. The AAO found that the Director incorrectly concluded the petitioner held a U.S. master's degree equivalent. The record did not establish that the petitioner's four-year foreign diploma qualified as an advanced degree, a prerequisite for the EB-2 classification, so the case was sent back for a new determination on this threshold issue.
Criteria Discussed
Advanced Degree Equivalency National Interest Waiver
