H-1B Dismissed — Mental Health Counseling (2024): did not establish the proffered position of 'bilingual case
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'bilingual case manager' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner presented inconsistent information regarding the minimum educational requirements, initially claiming a degree in psychology was necessary but then submitting evidence that only required a generic bachelor's degree, undermining the claim that the position requires a body of highly specialized knowledge.
