Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition, finding the beneficiary did not have the required five years of post-baccalaureate experience because the calculation started from the date the formal diploma was issued. The AAO remanded the case, determining that the five-year experience period should be calculated from the earlier issuance date of the provisional degree certificate, which it considered a valid official academic record of the degree's completion.
Criteria Discussed
Advanced Degree Equivalent (Bachelor'S + 5 Years Experience)
