Beneficiary meets minimum educational requirement of labor certification / advanced degree professional classification
AAO 为什么未被说服
The two equivalency evaluations were inconsistent with each other and lacked supporting transcripts, rendering them of little probative value. EDGE analysis indicated none of the Beneficiary's credentials correspond to a U.S. bachelor's degree, and neither issuing institution is recognized by Pakistan's HEC as a college or university. A foreign equivalent degree must come from a college or university.

W-2s and tax transcripts showed the Beneficiary was paid below the proffered wage in all years from 2012 to 2015. The Petitioner failed to submit required evidence (federal tax returns, annual reports, or audited financial statements) despite the Director's specific request, precluding any alternative assessment of ability to pay.

beneficiary possesses required education and experience
AAO 为什么未被说服
The Beneficiary has a foreign equivalent bachelor's degree but needs to show 5 years of progressive post-baccalaureate experience to meet the advanced degree equivalent requirement. The letter from the primary employer was unsigned and therefore insufficiently reliable, and the letter from the second employer failed to describe the Beneficiary's duties as required by 8 C.F.R. § 204.5(g)(1).…

No qualifying experience was adequately documented.
The labor certification's alternate requirements in Part H.8 and Part H.14 explicitly accepted work experience in lieu of a master's degree, meaning a worker with no degree could qualify. AAO held it could not ignore this term, and because the labor certification does not require an advanced degree professional, it does not support the requested EB-2 advanced degree classification.
