EB-3 Dismissed — Information Technology: the beneficiary did not possess a U.S
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary did not possess a U.S. bachelor's degree or a foreign equivalent, which was a requirement on the labor certification for a professional position. The petitioner's attempt to combine the beneficiary's education (equivalent to an associate's degree) with work experience was rejected, as the regulations permitting such a combination for H-1B petitions do not apply to this immigrant visa category.
