EB-3 Dismissed — Computer Science (2016): the beneficiary did not meet the minimum educational
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary did not meet the minimum educational requirement specified on the labor certification. The labor certification required a bachelor's degree in computer science or a foreign equivalent, and explicitly stated that no alternate combination of education and experience was acceptable. The director and the AAO found that the beneficiary's combination of a Bachelor of Science in Home Science and a Master Diploma in Computer Applications did not equate to a single U.S. bachelor's degree in the required field.
