Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary, who holds the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's degree in Physical Therapy, was not qualified for the proffered position of Medical Records Administrator. The AAO found that this role requires a degree in health information or medical records administration, not physical therapy. The AAO also concluded that the position itself did not qualify as a specialty occupation.
