Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered registered nurse position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that a registered nurse, even in an emergency department, does not normally require a bachelor's degree as a minimum for entry into the occupation, citing established USCIS policy and Department of Labor data. The petitioner did not sufficiently argue or provide evidence to overcome the Director's negative findings on any of the four specialty occupation criteria.
