Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO determined that the beneficiary's Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) degree from Pakistan is equivalent to a first professional degree in medicine (M.D.) in the United States. Since an M.D. is considered an advanced degree, the beneficiary met the educational requirements for the EB-2 classification, overturning the director's denial.
