Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered registered nurse position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The director concluded that the duties did not require a bachelor's degree, as a nurse with an associate's degree or diploma could perform them, and also noted that the record failed to show the beneficiary held the required state license to practice nursing.
