H-1B Dismissed — Medical Diagnostics: did not establish the proffered position of Medical Records

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of Medical Records Administrator qualified as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the duties described were generic and more aligned with a medical records technician, which does not normally require a bachelor's degree in a specific field. The petitioner did not demonstrate that a baccalaureate degree is a normal minimum requirement for the position or that the duties are so specialized and complex that they require knowledge associated with such a degree.
