H-1B Dismissed — Healthcare (2006): did not establish the proffered position of administrative

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of administrative assistant qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not the minimum requirement for the role, referencing the Occupational Outlook Handbook. The evidence provided, such as job advertisements, was insufficient to demonstrate that a degree is a common industry requirement or that the duties were specialized enough to necessitate one.
