EB-3 Dismissed — Graphic Design (2019): the minimum educational requirements set forth in the labor

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the Beneficiary did not meet the minimum educational requirements set forth in the labor certification. The certification required a bachelor's degree in graphic design or a related field, but the Beneficiary's degree was in art therapy, which was not considered equivalent. The petitioner's arguments that a combination of the Beneficiary's education and experience met the requirement were rejected, as the labor certification did not permit such an alternative.
