Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the AAO concurred with the director's finding that the beneficiary was not qualified for the proffered position. Although the position of a dentist was deemed a specialty occupation, the duties described, such as diagnosis and treatment planning, require a state license. The petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possessed the required license to practice dentistry in California.
