The AAO withdrew the director's finding. The testimonial letters failed to demonstrate original contributions of major significance—they were vague, speculative about future impact, and lacked specific evidence of influence beyond the university or project level. Citation evidence was minimal (two citations) and largely post-filing.

The AAO found that while the three-year B.S. alone is only equivalent to two to three years of U.S. undergraduate education, the PGD—which requires a three-year baccalaureate for entry—when combined with the prior degree, is equivalent to a U.S. baccalaureate. This is because the beneficiary does not possess two unrelated lesser degrees, but a PGD that builds on the prior degree in a related field.
