H-1B Dismissed โ Dentistry (2007): the director's denial was affirmed because the proffered
Decision Summary
The director's denial was affirmed because the proffered position was determined to be the practice of dentistry in California, which requires a state license. The petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary held the required license or was exempt from the requirement, as the role involved patient contact and assisting with diagnoses, and was not purely a research position.
