H-1B Dismissed — Hospitality Management (2005): did not establish the beneficiary is qualified to perform

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary is qualified to perform services in a specialty occupation. The director determined that the beneficiary's training under J-1 and H-3 programs did not count as progressively responsible experience equivalent to a college education. The AAO affirmed this decision, concluding the petitioner did not demonstrate that the beneficiary's combined education and experience were equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree.
