Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the AAO disagreed with the Director's conclusion that the petitioner qualified as an advanced degree professional. The AAO found that the foreign credential evaluation was insufficient, as it failed to analyze the U.S. equivalency of the petitioner's underlying diploma, which is a prerequisite for establishing a master's degree equivalency. The case was sent back for further review and a new decision on the petitioner's basic eligibility for the EB-2 classification.
