EB-2 Sustained — Manufacturing: the director denied the petition, concluding the job did

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.
