H-1B Dismissed — Education: the beneficiary was not qualified at the time of filing, as
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary was not qualified at the time of filing, as her teaching diploma was dated after the petition's filing date. Additionally, the AAO found that the proffered position of Montessori teacher did not qualify as a specialty occupation, as the petitioner's own requirements did not stipulate a bachelor's degree.
