remanded EB-2 Case: Fashion Merchandising
Decision Summary
The Director revoked the petition based on a flawed analysis, determining the Beneficiary's degrees were not equivalent to a U.S. master's degree and that she lacked five years of experience. The AAO found this reasoning incorrect because the labor certification specifically required a U.S. master's degree in fashion merchandising, which the Beneficiary possessed, making the five-year experience alternative irrelevant. The case was remanded for a new decision that properly evaluates the Beneficiary's qualifications against the specific requirements of the labor certification.
