EB-2 Sustained — Dentistry: the director denied the petition, stating the job offered

Decision Summary

The director denied the petition, stating the job offered did not require an advanced degree as the labor certification listed a 'Bachelor's degree.' The AAO sustained the appeal, reasoning that the labor certification also required a California dental license. Since obtaining this license effectively requires a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree or its equivalent, which is an advanced degree, the job's total requirements met the standard for the visa category.
