dismissed EB-3 Case: Software Development
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary did not possess the foreign equivalent of a single United States bachelor's degree as required by the labor certification. The director determined that the beneficiary's three-year degree and separate diploma could not be combined to meet the requirement, as the labor certification did not specify that an equivalent based on a combination of lesser degrees was acceptable.
