Outcome: Dismissed
AUG132024_02B5203
Our summary
An information security analyst sought EB-2 with NIW based on advanced degree status and proposed endeavor. The AAO dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for the underlying EB-2 classification; foreign credential evaluation lacked probative value and did not demonstrate equivalency to U.S. bachelor's degree, so NIW analysis was not reached.
