dismissed H-1B Case: Dentistry
Decision Summary
The AAO affirmed the director's denial. Although a prior AAO decision found the position qualified as a specialty occupation, the case was remanded to determine the beneficiary's qualifications. The petitioner failed to overcome the director's subsequent denial by not proving the beneficiary was licensed to perform the duties of a dentist.
