EB-3 Dismissed — Nursing (2021): did not establish the beneficiary met the minimum
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary met the minimum educational requirement listed on the ETA Form 9089. The form explicitly required an 'Associate's' degree in nursing, but the beneficiary's credential from India was determined to be equivalent to a diploma in nursing, which is not the same as a degree.
