Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'health services specialist' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO, referencing the Occupational Outlook Handbook, found the duties were similar to those of a registered nurse, an occupation that does not require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty as a minimum entry requirement, thus failing to meet the H-1B criteria.
