AAO agreed that a degree from an unaccredited institution lacks the academic weight necessary to qualify as an advanced degree. WASC records confirm the institution was not accredited during the Beneficiary's enrollment (2008–2010), only receiving accreditation in 2012. State BPPE approval is a lower standard than DOE/CHEA-recognized accreditation, and ICE/SEVP authorization to enroll foreign students is unrelated to immigrant classification requirements. The credentials evaluator's opinion was given little weight because it ignored the accreditation issue.
Possession of advanced degree or foreign equivalent
AAO 为什么未被说服
AAO agreed that the beneficiary's official records do not show a master's degree was conferred. The credential evaluation, while asserting equivalency, does not claim the degree was actually received. Under both pathways of 8 C.F.R. § 204.5(k)(3)(i), an actual degree (or foreign equivalent) is required. No evidence of five or more years of post-baccalaureate experience was submitted for the alternative pathway.

Because the master's degree does not qualify as an advanced degree and no alternative combination of education and experience is permitted under the labor certification, the Beneficiary fails to satisfy the minimum educational requirement of the labor certification.

Ability to pay based on actual compensation paid to beneficiary
AAO 为什么未被说服
The Beneficiary's 2014 W-2 showed $73,402.95 versus the proffered wage of $84,937, a shortfall of $11,534.05. Projected 2015 pay of $77,766 also fell short by $7,171. The Petitioner did not pay the beneficiary at least the proffered wage.
