EB-3 Dismissed — Education (2024): the Beneficiary did not possess the required bachelor's
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Beneficiary did not possess the required bachelor's degree in elementary education, as unambiguously stated on the associated Department of Labor (DOL) certification. The AAO found that the labor certification explicitly required a degree in 'Elementary Education' and indicated no alternate fields were acceptable, thereby rejecting the petitioner's argument that a degree in any field was intended.
