sustained EB-2 Case: Manufacturing
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, concluding the job did not require an advanced degree. The AAO sustained the appeal, finding that the labor certification, when read as a whole, required a bachelor's degree plus five years of progressive experience. This combination is considered the equivalent of a master's degree under the regulations, thereby meeting the job requirements for the EB-2 classification, despite some ambiguity created by a reference to an H-1B regulation.
Criteria Discussed
Advanced Degree Requirement Job Requirements On Labor Certification (Eta 750) Bachelor'S Plus Five Years Experience
