Decision Summary
The AAO remanded the case, withdrawing the Director's decision. The AAO found that the petitioner had not sufficiently established her eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification because the submitted evidence did not adequately prove she held an advanced degree or its equivalent (a bachelor's degree plus five years of progressive experience). Specifically, her diploma was not clearly identified as a bachelor's degree and her work experience letters were not confirmed to be from actual employers as required.
