Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the beneficiary was qualified for the specialty occupation of farm manager. The beneficiary did not hold a relevant bachelor's degree, and the submitted evaluation from a university professor intended to establish degree equivalency was found insufficient. The AAO determined the evaluation was based on uncorroborated claims in the beneficiary's resume and lacked evidence that the professor had the authority to grant college-level credit for work experience.
