EB-2 Sustained — Medicine (2012): the Director had incorrectly determined that the position

Decision Summary

The appeal was sustained because the Director had incorrectly determined that the position did not require an advanced degree. The AAO found that the beneficiary's Indian Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery degree is equivalent to a U.S. Doctor of Medicine (M.D.), which qualifies as an advanced degree. The AAO also verified that the beneficiary met all other job requirements listed on the labor certification, such as medical licensure, board certification, and residency completion, prior to the filing date.
