H-1B Dismissed — Computer Information Systems (2024): did not establish the beneficiary was qualified to perform

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary was qualified to perform the duties of a specialty occupation. The Director initially denied the petition on these grounds, and the AAO concurred. The evidence, which included a foreign bachelor's degree in chemistry and several advisory evaluations combining education and work experience, was deemed insufficient to demonstrate the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's degree in the specialty.
