sustained EB-2 Case: Systems Engineering

The director initially denied the petition, finding that the petitioner failed to demonstrate the position required an advanced degree professional. On appeal, the AAO concluded that the beneficiary, who possesses a bachelor's degree plus at least five years of experience, qualifies as an advanced degree professional under the regulations. The AAO found that the beneficiary's credentials matched the terms of the labor certification and therefore sustained the appeal.
