Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the proffered registered nurse position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined that a bachelor's degree is not the normal minimum requirement for entry, citing the Occupational Outlook Handbook which indicates pathways with an associate's degree or diploma. The petitioner also failed to sufficiently demonstrate that a bachelor's degree is a common requirement for parallel positions among similar organizations in the industry.
