H-1B Dismissed — Acupuncture: did not establish the proffered position of chemist
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of chemist qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO found inconsistencies in the record, such as the beneficiary holding two different positions, and the job duties appeared generic and not credible for a small, two-employee acupuncture clinic. Ultimately, the petitioner did not demonstrate that the position required a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
