Decision Summary

The director initially denied the petition because the proffered staff nurse position was not a specialty occupation. On appeal, the petitioner attempted to reclassify the position as a nurse supervisor, but the AAO determined this was an impermissible material change to the petition. The appeal was summarily dismissed for failing to address the original grounds for denial.
