Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was qualified for the specialty occupation. The beneficiary lacked a relevant U.S. bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent, and the submitted evaluations intended to prove work experience equivalence were found insufficient. The AAO determined the evaluations carried little weight because they did not meet specific regulatory requirements, such as proving the evaluator had authority to grant college-level credit for work experience on behalf of an accredited university.
