H-1B Dismissed โ Healthcare (2007): did not establish the proffered position of 'healthcare
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'healthcare support worker' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the petitioner did not meet any of the four regulatory criteria which would prove that a bachelor's degree in a specific field is required for the role. The petitioner's argument regarding prior approvals for the same position was rejected, with the AAO stating it is not bound by previous potentially erroneous decisions.
