H-1B Dismissed — Law (2015): did not establish the proffered 'Law Clerk' position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered 'Law Clerk' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The Director, and subsequently the AAO, found the evidence did not prove that the position's duties required a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific specialty. The AAO also identified an additional ground for dismissal, noting that the submitted Labor Condition Application (LCA) did not correspond to the petition.
