H-1B Dismissed — Healthcare Administration (2006): the proposed position of 'medical records administrator'
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the proposed position of 'medical records administrator' did not qualify as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that the duties described more closely resembled those of a 'medical records and health information technician,' a role which does not normally require a bachelor's degree, rather than a 'medical and health services manager.' Therefore, the petitioner failed to meet the minimum requirements for an H-1B specialty occupation.
