H-1B Dismissed — Law (2020): did not establish the proffered position qualifies as a

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner provided inconsistent evidence regarding the job duties and minimum requirements, classifying the position as 'Lawyers' on the LCA but later stating a law degree and license were not required because the beneficiary would only assist licensed attorneys. This lack of clarity and specificity prevented the AAO from determining if the position's duties were sufficiently complex to require a bachelor's degree in a specific field.
