sustained EB-3 Case: Accounting
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the Director had erred by only considering one of the Beneficiary's two academic credentials. The AAO found that the Beneficiary's second credential, a 'Bachelor's Degree Diploma (Adult Higher Education),' was equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree, thereby meeting the educational requirement. The AAO also concluded that the proffered accountant position is a professional occupation.
