EB-3 Dismissed — Education (2016): the Beneficiary did not possess a single foreign degree
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Beneficiary did not possess a single foreign degree equivalent to a U.S. baccalaureate degree as required for the EB-3 professional classification. Although the Petitioner provided credential evaluations asserting equivalency, the AAO determined that the regulations require a single degree and do not permit combining multiple, lesser credentials to meet the bachelor's degree requirement.
Criteria Discussed
Possession Of U.S. Baccalaureate Or Foreign Equivalent Degree Foreign Credential Evaluation Job Requirements On Labor Certification
