dismissed H-1B Case: Healthcare Administration
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a staffing company, failed to establish that the proffered position of Medical Record Administrator qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the petitioner did not meet any of the four regulatory criteria, failing to demonstrate that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for the position, common in the industry, required by the end-client, or necessitated by the complexity of the duties.
