dismissed EB-3 Case: Graphic Design
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Beneficiary's degrees, a bachelor's in communication arts (journalism) and a master's in studio art, did not meet the specific labor certification requirement for a bachelor's degree in graphic design. The AAO found the educational credential evaluation submitted by the Petitioner to be unpersuasive and lacking sufficient evidence to prove the foreign degree was equivalent to a U.S. degree in the required field.
