H-1B Dismissed — Health Services: the AAO determined that the proffered position of health
Decision Summary
The AAO determined that the proffered position of health services analyst was equivalent to a health services manager. For a facility of the petitioner's size, this position requires a master's degree to qualify as a specialty occupation. The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary, possessing only the equivalent of a bachelor's degree in nursing, was not qualified for the master's-level position.
