sustained EB-2 Case: Dentistry
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.
