sustained EB-2 Case: Computer Science
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, finding the beneficiary's three-year bachelor's degree was not equivalent to a U.S. baccalaureate degree. The AAO sustained the appeal, clarifying that the correct analysis was not of the bachelor's degree alone, but of the combined educational credentials, concluding that the beneficiary's two-year Master of Science degree, obtained after the bachelor's degree, constituted a foreign equivalent to a U.S. advanced degree.
