H-1B Dismissed — Architecture (2005): did not establish the beneficiary was qualified to perform

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was qualified to perform the duties of a specialty occupation. While the petitioner showed the beneficiary worked under the supervision of a licensed architect, overcoming the director's initial grounds for denial, the record lacked a required evaluation of the beneficiary's foreign credentials to prove her degree was equivalent to a U.S. baccalaureate degree in the specialty.
