Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'registered nurse (intensive care unit)' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found the petitioner did not prove a bachelor's degree is the normal minimum requirement for the position, nor that the end-client hospital normally requires a degree, noting that the hospital acknowledged hiring individuals with less than a bachelor's degree for similar roles.
