EB-3 Dismissed — Information Technology (2022): the beneficiary did not meet the minimum educational
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary did not meet the minimum educational requirements of the labor certification, which required a U.S. bachelor's or master's degree. The beneficiary's foreign degree was evaluated as equivalent to a U.S. associate's degree, and the AAO determined that a 'suitable combination' clause did not override the explicit degree requirements.
