Decision Date
2025-03-03
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.

Proposed Endeavor

The petitioner proposes to seek employment in the trucking industry, eventually owning and operating his own trucking company engaged in interstate transportation. The business would provide dispatcher services for transportation companies, responding to emergency and non-emergency calls, monitoring routes, and recording information to assist stakeholders.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The petition was denied because the Petitioner did not qualify for the EB-2 classification; his occupation (truck driver/dispatcher) is not considered a profession requiring a bachelor's degree. Additionally, his three-year degree from Uzbekistan was not proven to be the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's degree, and he failed to demonstrate five years of progressive experience in the intended specialty.
