EB-2 Remanded — Computer Science (2017): the Director denied the petition, finding the beneficiary's

Decision Summary

The Director denied the petition, finding the beneficiary's formal diploma was issued after the priority date, meaning the beneficiary lacked the required degree and five years of post-baccalaureate experience. The AAO remanded the case, concluding that the date a formal diploma is conferred is not the sole determinant of when a degree is earned. The case was sent back for a case-specific analysis to determine if the beneficiary's provisional degree certificate established that all substantive degree requirements were met before the priority date.
