Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proposed employment as a Port Captain qualifies as a 'profession' within the meaning of the regulations. The petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate that a U.S. baccalaureate degree or its foreign equivalent is the minimum requirement for entry into the occupation, which is a prerequisite for qualifying as a member of the professions.
