dismissed H-1B Case: Medicine
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'health services coordinator' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the petitioner did not prove that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is a minimum requirement for the role. The duties were deemed more similar to an administrative support supervisor, which does not typically require a specialized degree, rather than a medical and health services manager.
