EB-3 Remanded — Business Advisory (2017): the Director denied the petition because the beneficiary's
Decision Summary
The Director denied the petition because the beneficiary's three-year degree and diploma were not considered the 'foreign educational equivalent' of a U.S. bachelor's degree. The AAO found the term ambiguous in the context of a skilled worker petition, which has no statutory degree requirement, and remanded the case for the Director to consider the petitioner's intent as to whether a combination of credentials could satisfy the requirement.
