H-1B Dismissed — Law: did not establish the proffered position of Legal

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a law firm, failed to establish that the proffered position of Legal Administrator qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the duties were a combination of manager, administrator, and clerk roles, none of which require a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty. Although the petitioner provided evidence that a bachelor's degree was often required for similar positions, it failed to show that the degree must be in a specific field, which is a key requirement for an H-1B specialty occupation.
