📅 2024-12-09 👤 Organization 📂 Healthcare

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner's own stated requirements allowed for an associate's degree with experience, which contradicts the H-1B requirement of a minimum bachelor's degree. The petitioner also failed to resolve inconsistencies in the record regarding the educational prerequisites for the role.
