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 decision to dismiss the motion to reopen and motion to reconsider was based on the petitioner's failure to establish eligibility for EB-2 classification. Specifically, the petitioner's degree in fashion and certificate in business were not found to be equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree, and there was no evidence of five years of progressive, post-baccalaureate work experience in her specialty. The petitioner did not present new facts or documentary evidence to support her claims on motion to reopen, nor did she establish an incorrect application of law or policy on motion to reconsider.

USCIS EB-2 (NIW) dismissed
2025-02-24
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.

USCIS EB-2 (NIW) dismissed
2024-12-11
The motion to reopen and reconsider was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to follow instructions for filing the appeal brief. Specifically, the Petitioner did not include a statement identifying an erroneous conclusion of law or fact with Form I-290B and mailed the brief to the USCIS Phoenix Lockbox instead of directly to the AAO, causing a delay in its incorporation into the record. Therefore, the AAO's summary dismissal of the appeal was affirmed.
