sustained EB-2 Case: Software Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO determined that the beneficiary's Master of Science (MS) degree from India was the foreign equivalent of a U.S. master's degree, thus meeting the educational requirements of the labor certification. The director had incorrectly concluded the degree was not equivalent, but the AAO, referencing the AACRAO EDGE database, found that the specific degree held by the beneficiary is comparable to a U.S. master's degree.
