H-1B Dismissed — Human Services (2024): did not establish the proffered 'habilitation specialist'

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the proffered 'habilitation specialist' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO agreed with the Director that the acceptable range of bachelor's degrees—including psychology, sociology, social work, education, and other human services fields—was too wide and disparate to constitute a requirement for a degree in a single, specific specialty.
