sustained EB-2 Case: Information Technology
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition because the labor certification allowed a master's degree in 'Any discipline,' arguing that the degree field must be related to the occupation. The AAO sustained the appeal, reasoning that the director's reliance on outdated case law was misplaced. The AAO found that the current regulations defining a 'profession' do not require that the labor certification specify a particular field of study, only that a baccalaureate degree is the minimum for entry into the occupation.
