sustained EB-2 Case: Information Technology
Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition, finding the Beneficiary lacked the required five years of post-baccalaureate experience when counting from the formal diploma date. The AAO sustained the appeal, determining that the experience clock can start from the issuance date of a provisional certificate if evidence shows all substantive degree requirements were met by that date, which the Petitioner successfully demonstrated.
