dismissed EB-3 Case: Computer Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Beneficiary did not meet the minimum educational requirement as stated in the labor certification. The certification required a U.S. bachelor's degree or its foreign equivalent, and the Beneficiary's three-year degree from India did not qualify. The AAO determined that the petitioner's inclusion of standard 'Kellogg language' did not override the specific requirement for a bachelor's degree, especially since the petitioner had explicitly indicated that an alternate combination of education and experience was not acceptable.
