H-1B Dismissed — Medical Technology (2006): did not establish the proffered position of nuclear
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of nuclear medicine technologist qualifies as a specialty occupation. Citing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, the AAO determined that a bachelor's degree in a specific field is not the normal minimum requirement for entry into the occupation. The petitioner did not successfully argue that the position was complex enough to require a degree, nor that such a requirement was common in the industry, failing to meet any of the four regulatory criteria.
Criteria Discussed
Normal Minimum Requirement For The Position Is A Bachelor'S Degree Degree Requirement Is Common To The Industry Employer Normally Requires A Degree For The Position The Nature Of The Specific Duties Is So Specialized And Complex That It Requires A Degree
