dismissed H-1B Case: Environmental Services
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'executive administrative assistant' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner did not demonstrate that the position requires a degree in a specific specialty, as a general bachelor's degree requirement is insufficient. The duties described, such as accounts payable, research, and clerical support, were not found to be so specialized or complex as to necessitate a degree in a specific field.
