H-1B Dismissed — Law (2015): did not establish the proffered paralegal position

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered paralegal position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the petitioner did not demonstrate that the position requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific specialty as a minimum for entry, a core requirement for the H-1B visa category.
