dismissed EB-3 Case: Healthcare Services
Decision Summary
The motions were dismissed because the petitioner improperly tried to apply a nonimmigrant H-1B regulation, which allows work experience to be converted into educational equivalency, to an EB-3 immigrant petition. The AAO affirmed that for the EB-3 professional category, a beneficiary must possess a U.S. bachelor's degree or a foreign equivalent degree, and work experience cannot be used as a substitute.
