sustained EB-2 Case: Computer Programming
Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition, finding the Beneficiary did not have the required five years of post-baccalaureate experience when measured from the date her formal diploma was issued. The AAO sustained the appeal, concluding that the experience could be measured from the earlier issuance date of a 'provisional certificate,' which confirmed the completion of all degree requirements. Using this earlier date, the Beneficiary met the five-year progressive experience requirement.
