sustained EB-2 Case: Computer Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO, upon de novo review, determined that the beneficiary's foreign education (a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Computer Applications), supported by credential evaluations, met the labor certification's requirement of a U.S. bachelor's degree or its foreign equivalent. The director had initially denied the petition, concluding the beneficiary did not satisfy the minimum education level, but the AAO found that the beneficiary's combined education and experience qualified for the EB-2 classification.
