dismissed EB-2 (NIW)
Quality Assurance Leader
Automotive Glass Repair And Replacement Company · 2022-07-08
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 Beneficiary was intended to serve as a quality assurance leader for an automotive glass repair and replacement company. The role involved overseeing quality standards and processes within the petitioner's IT or operational framework.
Why This Petition Was Denied
The appeal was dismissed because the labor certification (ETA Form 9089) stated that 'Bachelor's equivalency may be met by a combination of degrees.' This language violates the requirement for EB-2 advanced degree classification, which necessitates a single U.S. bachelor's degree or a single foreign equivalent degree. Consequently, the position's minimum requirements were found to be less than those required for the requested classification.

2024-12-02
The appeal was dismissed because the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) found that the Director's interpretation of the labor certification's plain language was correct. The labor certification's part H.14 explicitly stated a five-year experience requirement for specific duties and technologies, which the Beneficiary did not meet. The AAO determined there was no ambiguity in the language, thus precluding consideration of the Petitioner's additional evidence or claimed intent regarding an alternate three-year experience criterion.

A dismissed EB-2 NIW petition means USCIS found the evidence insufficient to meet the eligibility criteria.
