sustained EB-2 Case: Engineering Education
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, finding the beneficiary's Ph.D. in human resources education did not meet the labor certification's requirement for a degree in engineering, engineering education, or a closely related field. The AAO sustained the appeal, accepting the petitioner's evidence that the beneficiary's degree was in a closely related field, noting the rarity of specific Ph.D. programs in engineering education.
