dismissed H-1B Case: Nursing
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of a critical care nurse qualified as a specialty occupation, as the minimum entry requirement for a registered nurse is an associate's degree, not a bachelor's. Furthermore, the beneficiary was not qualified for the position because she did not possess the required nursing license from the State of California.
