H-1B Dismissed — Library Science (2006): did not establish the proffered position of 'library
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'library assistant' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded, by referencing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, that a bachelor's degree is not the normal minimum requirement for the position. The petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence to show that the duties were uniquely complex, that a degree was common in the industry for similar roles, or that the petitioner normally required a degree for the position.
