dismissed EB-3 Case: Cytogenetics
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the labor certification did not strictly require a bachelor's degree, allowing an alternative combination of experience without a degree. This means the position does not qualify as a "professional" role. Additionally, the AAO found that the beneficiary's foreign vocational credentials were not equivalent to a U.S. baccalaureate degree.
Criteria Discussed
Labor Certification Requirements Professional Classification (Bachelor'S Degree) Beneficiary'S Educational Qualifications Alternate Combination Of Education And Experience
