H-1B Dismissed — Health Care Administration (2006): did not establish the beneficiary was qualified to perform

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was qualified to perform the duties of the specialty occupation. The AAO found that the position of associate administrator, a type of medical and health services manager, requires a master's degree in a relevant field. The petitioner did not demonstrate that the beneficiary, who holds a bachelor's in nursing and an unevaluated foreign master's in counseling, possessed the required U.S. master's degree or its equivalent.
