H-1B Dismissed — Healthcare (2016): did not establish the proffered 'contract administrator'

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'contract administrator' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the required bachelor's degree in business administration is a general-purpose degree and not one in a specific specialty directly related to the position's duties, which is necessary to meet the statutory and regulatory definition of a specialty occupation.
