EB-2 Sustained — Information Technology (2017): the Director denied the petition, finding the beneficiary

Decision Summary

The Director denied the petition, finding the beneficiary lacked five years of post-baccalaureate experience because the experience was calculated from the date the formal diploma was issued. The AAO sustained the appeal, concluding that the experience should be calculated from the earlier date of the beneficiary's provisional certificate, which confirmed all degree requirements were met. Using this earlier date, the beneficiary satisfied the five-year experience requirement.
