Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Beneficiary's degree was in kinesiology, not physical therapy as explicitly required by the ETA Form 9089 labor certification. The Petitioner failed to establish that the Beneficiary's single degree in kinesiology was the foreign equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's degree in physical therapy, as the provided credential evaluations combined the degree with subsequent coursework to reach an equivalency.
