dismissed H-1B Case: Food Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possesses the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's degree required for the specialty occupation of a food scientist. The credentials evaluation submitted was found to be unpersuasive as it improperly combined work experience with education and was not from an official with the authority to grant college-level credit for experience. The petitioner did not meet the regulatory criteria for demonstrating degree equivalency through a combination of education and experience.
