EB-3 Dismissed — Accounting (2021): did not establish the beneficiary's three-year foreign

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's three-year foreign degree was equivalent to the U.S. bachelor's degree required by the labor certification. The credentials evaluation submitted was given little weight as it lacked specifics on the evaluator's qualifications and methodology. The AAO affirmed the position that a three-year degree is generally not equivalent to a four-year U.S. baccalaureate degree without sufficient evidence to the contrary.
