dismissed EB-3 Case: Fashion Design
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner sought a 'professional' classification, which requires the job offer to have a minimum of a bachelor's degree. However, the petitioner's certified labor certification only required an associate's degree, failing to meet the regulatory standard. The AAO also noted as a separate issue that the petitioner failed to submit required evidence to establish its ability to pay the proffered wage.
