H-1B Dismissed — Chemical Engineering: did not establish the beneficiary is qualified to perform

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary is qualified to perform services in a specialty occupation. The beneficiary did not possess a U.S. bachelor's degree, a foreign equivalent degree, or a state license. The evaluation submitted to equate his diploma and work experience to a U.S. degree was found insufficient because it was not authored by an official with the specific authority to grant college-level credit for work experience, as required by regulations.
