dismissed H-1B Case: Medical Diagnostics
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.
