Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'foreign counsel' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner provided contradictory information, describing the position's duties as those of a lawyer while also claiming it does not require a law license, making it impossible to determine the substantive nature of the role and if it meets H-1B standards.
