EB-3 Sustained — Education (2017): the Director denied the petition, concluding the job offer

Decision Summary

The Director denied the petition, concluding the job offer did not strictly require a bachelor's degree but would accept an equivalent combination of education and experience. The AAO sustained the appeal because the labor certification form explicitly stated that an alternate combination of education and experience was not acceptable, and advertisements confirmed a bachelor's degree was a minimum requirement, thus qualifying the position for professional classification.
