dismissed H-1B Case: Healthcare
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the AAO concluded that the proffered position of health services manager did not qualify as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the described duties were more akin to those of an office manager or administrative assistant, which do not require a bachelor's degree in a specific field. The small scale of the petitioner's operations did not support the claim that the position was complex enough to necessitate a degreed professional.
Criteria Discussed
Normal Degree Requirement For The Position Degree Requirement Common To The Industry Employer Normally Requires A Degree For The Position Specialized And Complex Duties
