Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary, holding a doctor of chiropractic degree, does not meet the regulatory definition of a 'physician' (doctor of medicine or doctor of osteopathy) for this specific visa classification. The regulations do not provide for equivalent degrees. Additionally, the beneficiary's field of chiropractic is not among the medical specialties designated for shortage areas, and the petitioner failed to submit a valid public interest attestation from a qualifying agency.
