H-1B Dismissed — Animal Science (2006): did not establish the beneficiary is qualified to perform

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary is qualified to perform the duties of the proffered specialty occupation. The petitioner did not demonstrate that the beneficiary's education, training, and/or experience are equivalent to a U.S. baccalaureate degree in a field directly related to the position of animal scientist. The evidence provided, including an educational evaluation, was found insufficient to satisfy the regulatory requirements for degree equivalency.
