dismissed EB-2 (NIW)

This case is from a USCIS Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) appeal decision. Appeal cases represent a subset of petitions and may not reflect typical outcomes.
Why This Petition Was Denied
The AAO dismissed the motions because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for EB-2 classification. Specifically, the petitioner did not demonstrate that her two foreign diplomas, each requiring less than four years of study, were equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree. The submitted evaluation did not adequately explain this equivalency, nor did it clearly establish that the petitioner's seven years of work experience were 'post-baccalaureate' as claimed, thus failing to meet the advanced degree or its equivalent requirement for EB-2.
