dismissed EB-2 Case: Mental Health
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered job of a 'mental health counselor,' which it described as a 'paraprofessional' position not requiring state licensure, actually requires a member of the professions holding an advanced degree. The director also raised concerns, addressed in a subsequent NOID/RFE, about whether there was a bona fide job offer and the petitioner's ability to pay the proffered wage.
Criteria Discussed
Advanced Degree Requirement Bona Fide Job Offer Ability To Pay Job Requirements (Licensure)
