H-1B Dismissed — Finance (2016): did not establish the proffered 'loan officer' position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a commercial bank, failed to establish that the proffered 'loan officer' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner did not demonstrate that the position requires a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty, which is a core requirement. Simply stating a general bachelor's degree requirement is insufficient to meet the H-1B standard.
