EB-3 Dismissed — Information Technology (2017): the labor certification stated the petitioner would accept
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the labor certification stated the petitioner would accept a 'combination of education and experience that is equivalent to completion of a U.S. Bachelor degree.' The AAO concluded this language indicated that a U.S. baccalaureate degree was not the true minimum requirement for the position, therefore failing to qualify it as a 'professional' role for the requested EB-3 classification.
