dismissed H-1B Case: Healthcare Administration
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary was found not qualified for the specialty occupation. The beneficiary's degree in physical therapy was not considered equivalent to the bachelor's degree in health information or medical records administration typically required for a medical records administrator. Additionally, the AAO found that the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position itself qualified as a specialty occupation.
