EB-3 Dismissed — Software Development (2016): the Beneficiary's degree, a bachelor of elective studies,

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the Beneficiary's degree, a bachelor of elective studies, did not meet the labor certification's minimum requirement of a bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, technology, or a related field. Although the Beneficiary had taken relevant coursework, the degree itself was not in a specified field, and the petitioner's evidence to the contrary was deemed unpersuasive and inconsistent with the university's own degree program description.
