sustained EB-2 Case: It Services
Decision Summary
The initial petition was denied because the director found the beneficiary's Bachelor's degree in Economics did not meet the labor certification's requirement for a degree in IT, Business, Marketing, or a related field. The appeal was sustained because the petitioner provided evidence, such as job advertisements, demonstrating its intent to accept a wide range of majors, which convinced the AAO that the Economics degree should be considered a 'related major field of study'.
