EB-3 Dismissed — Engineering (2016): the petitioner sought classification as a professional,
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner sought classification as a professional, which requires the job to have a minimum of a bachelor's degree. However, the associated labor certification (ETA Form 9089) specified an acceptable alternate combination of 'no education' with 48 years of experience, thereby failing to meet the strict degree requirement for the professional category.
Criteria Discussed
Professional Classification Requirements Skilled Worker Classification Labor Certification Requirements Minimum Education Requirements Alternate Combination Of Education And Experience
