The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to establish that the Beneficiary was qualified for the specialty occupation. The Petitioner tried to demonstrate that the Beneficiary's foreign education and work experience were equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree. However, the submitted academic equivalency evaluations were deemed to have no significant weight because the evaluators were not proven to have the specific authority to grant college-level credit for training and/or experience, as required by regulations.
