Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO determined that the beneficiary's provisional degree certificate, issued before the priority date, constituted an official university record showing the degree was awarded. The Director had initially denied the petition because the formal diploma was issued after the priority date, but the AAO concluded that the provisional certificate was sufficient proof that the beneficiary met the educational requirements in time.
