dismissed EB-3 Case: Graphic Design
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.
