H-1B Dismissed — Law (2005): 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 AAO found that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is not the normal minimum requirement for the position, is not common in the industry for parallel positions, and the petitioner did not demonstrate that the duties are so complex or unique as to require a specialized degree.
