H-1B Dismissed — Medicine: did not establish the proffered position of Medical
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a medical practice, failed to establish that the proffered position of Medical Secretary qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that a bachelor's degree in a specific field is not the normal minimum requirement for entry into this occupation, referencing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook. The petitioner did not satisfy any of the four regulatory criteria required to classify the position as a specialty occupation.
