dismissed EB-3 Case: Accounting
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Beneficiary's credential, a membership certificate from a professional accounting association, was not considered a 'foreign equivalent degree.' The AAO determined that the issuing body was not a degree-granting college or university as required by regulation, and therefore the Beneficiary did not meet the educational requirements for classification as a professional.
Criteria Discussed
U.S. Baccalaureate Degree Or Foreign Equivalent Degree
