H-1B Dismissed — Insurance: did not establish the proffered position of claims examiner

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that the proffered position of claims examiner qualifies as a specialty occupation. The evidence submitted, including the Occupational Outlook Handbook and various job listings, indicated that a bachelor's degree in a specific field is not a normal minimum requirement for entry into the occupation. The petitioner also failed to demonstrate that its specific position was uniquely complex or that the company normally requires a specific degree for the role.
