Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of a 'practice nurse in gerontology' qualified as a specialty occupation. Citing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, the AAO found that a bachelor's degree is not the minimum requirement for entry into the registered nurse profession, as individuals with an associate's degree or a diploma can also qualify for entry-level positions.
